Malcolm Gunter Foundation
In May 2017 Malcolm Gunter was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease, a most devastating and misunderstood condition. Just 12 months later, in May 2018 he passed away.
Born in Frampton Cotterell in South Gloucestershire, Malcolm Gunter spent almost 30 years working in the Bristol and wider South West property market and was well liked and respected by all who had the pleasure of working with him. An active contributor to BPAA. His reputation and a measure of the high esteem in which he was regarded resulted in him being nominated to become President of The BPAA in 2018. Sadly this was a position he reluctantly had to relinquish when diagnosed with Motor Neuron Disease in 2017.
The Foundation was set up under Trust in April 2018 with the following objectives
To provide financial assistance to sufferers of MND to include specialist medical (including equipment) or nursing care;
To meet costs associated with practical, emotional or other support for Malcolm’s family;
To provide support to other sufferers of MND and their families;
To make grants to charities involved in the field of research into MND or the support of people suffering from MND or their families
