8 Years. 8 Challenges. One Big Day.

In 2017, Paul Jameson was diagnosed with motor neurone disease (MND) and given just six months to live. That diagnosis changed everything for Paul and his family, and it became the starting point of our story here at Aura.

Eight years later, Paul is still defying the odds, and now, he’s celebrating his diagnosis anniversary with the most ambitious fundraising effort yet: the 8 for 8 Challenge. At the heart of this campaign is an extraordinary day of Guinness World Record attempts taking place on Sunday, 7 September 2025, at Dunsfold Aerodrome, Surrey.

Paul will attempt to break four Guinness World Records in a single day, pulled in a custom-built wheelchair by a team of elite sled dogs led by world champion racer Vickie Pullin. One of the planned records is the greatest distance covered in one minute by a person in a wheelchair pulled by dogs.

A Cause Close to Our Hearts

Since his diagnosis, Paul has already helped raise over £200,000 for MND research and support services. Now, through the 8 for 8 Challenge, he aims to raise £88,000 more, honouring each year since his diagnosis.

All proceeds will go directly to the West Surrey branch of the MND Association, helping fund crucial care, equipment, and research for people living with this currently incurable condition.
