The debilitating Motor Neuron Disease (MND) was the focus for a fundraising walk and charity auction at Masterton on Sunday, with more than $30,000 raised in an astounding effort by hundreds of local people. The walk was one of 14 staged around the country on the same day, and photographer CHRIS KILFORD was there to catch the action.
