To celebrate 20 years of Branding Science, we will be dusting off our running shoes/cycling shorts/swimming goggles (delete as appropriate) to support some causes that are close to our hearts by competing against each other in a (virtual) race around the world!

FUNDRAISING TOTAL

Three Teams. Three Legs.

One Goal.

We’re incredibly proud that over the past twenty years we’ve worked with some of the healthcare sector’s most well-known, innovative and world-changing organisations. Through this work, we’ve helped improve the lives of patients across the globe. To mark our anniversary, we want to do more. That’s why we’re embarking on a team challenge to raise funds and awareness for people suffering from some of the world’s rarest diseases.

While individual diseases are rare, ‘rare diseases’ as a whole affect 1 in 17 people and most have no effective treatment. That’s why, to mark our 20th anniversary, we’ve established this competition and are asking people to support and encourage our team by donating via the link below. All money raised will be evenly split between The MOG Project, Eurordis, and Nnet.

Wherever they’re based, whatever they do, team members from across the Branding Science Group will compete with their colleagues in three legs of 2,000km. Each team will attempt to circumnavigate the globe by walking, running, swimming or cycling (or any other human powered machine - unicycle anyone?) between the Branding Science Group offices, in a race to be the first across the finish line.

You can track the progress of your team, send words of encouragement and (of course) donate on this site. We really appreciate your support.

Now it’s time to stretch, put on the montage music, and unleash Branding Science Group’s inner sporting titans!

Our Chosen Charities

Leg One: The MOG Project

The MOG Project is a 501(c)3 organization devoted to advocating for those all over the world who are diagnosed with MOG Antibody Disease (MOGAD) by raising awareness, educating doctors, patients and caregivers, advancing research through expert collaboration and fundraising, and providing support and advocacy for our community in hopes of finding a cure.

We offer disease information appropriate for newly diagnosed patients as well as those already living with the disease, in the form of easy-to-understand infographics, written materials, podcasts and videos. We also work with researchers and pharma companies to collect data, provide patient experience and aid in understanding this new frontier in neuroimmunology.
