Gloucester set up a JustGiving page to raise £20,000 for Slater and his family. That target was passed within hours of its launch and on Friday afternoon stood at just under £44,000 . “I want to say thank you to everyone for all your messages of support and generosity,” he said, on Twitter.“I will meet this challenge head-on. Ultimately I can’t win but I will fight with everything. Hope is not lost.
Both are working to fight this disease for me and all my fellow battlers of MND as well as our loved ones.” Gloucester have expressed gratitude for support received by the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation.
