Taron Egerton, 25, lost his grandmother to motor neurone disease in 2003. In February 2015 he held a fundraising screening of his hit film Kingsman: The Secret Service in his hometown of Aberystwyth to support and benefit the South West Wales Branch of the Association.
Taron said “I’ve been lucky enough to have had some amazing success with my first film Kingsman: The Secret Service and if some of that success means I can help raise awareness of motor neurone disease then I will do all I can to help. My gran was a formidable woman and to have her taken from us so quickly by MND was an awful shock for my family. I’ve already worked with my local MND Association branch to put on a big fundraising event back in my home town of Aberystwyth so I’m really excited to become an Ambassador for the MND Association. I look forward to working more with the charity in the future”.
