Why did you decide to fundraise?
In partnership with patient advocacy groups and industry collaborators, Axol Bioscience aims to support scientific innovation, accelerate drug discovery, and help drive progress for patients affected by complex diseases. Together they bring expertise, passion and commitment to our roles, and now they're delighted to include fundraising too!
Motor neuron disease (MND) remains one of the greatest challenges in neuroscience, affecting thousands of individuals and families worldwide. Progress depends on continued research, innovation, and a deeper understanding of the disease.
That's why we're proud to support the Euan MacDonald Centre, a leading centre dedicated to advancing MND research and improving outcomes for people living with the disease. Through pioneering research, clinical expertise, and a commitment to transforming lives, the Centre is helping drive progress towards a future with better treatments and care.

How did you raise the money?
We organised bake sales across our sites and invited colleagues to donate, bake and take part. The event brought together teams from across the company around a cause that is closely connected to the scientific work we do every day. It was a simple and inclusive way for everyone to get involved while raising awareness and supporting vital MND research.
Fundraising wisdom:
Keep it simple, make it easy for people to participate, and communicate why the cause matters. People are far more likely to get involved when they understand the impact their contribution can have. Small individual contributions can quickly add up to make a meaningful difference.
We are incredibly proud that our bake sales raised over £1,000 for the Euan MacDonald Centre. As a company that supports neuroscience research, this was a meaningful opportunity to contribute beyond the laboratory and support the wider MND research community. We are grateful to everyone who baked, donated and helped make the fundraising effort such a success.
The most rewarding part was seeing colleagues across different teams come together for a shared cause. There was a real sense of community and purpose throughout the day. The biggest challenge was coordinating activities across multiple sites, but the enthusiasm and generosity of everyone involved made it a great success.
