The Broad Appeal
Supporting Motor
Neurone Disease
During the Ashes
2013/14 Tour we decided to raise funds for Motor Neurone Disease in association
with The Broad Appeal. We wanted to support Stuart Broad not only on the pitch
but also in raising funds for the charity he, along with his father and sister
set up in the memory of his step mum, Miche. Miche Broad sadly lost her life to
Motor Neurone Disease in 2010. Chris,
Gemma and Stuart have been overwhelmed with the generosity shown by the Barmy
Army and wish to pass on their sincere thanks to, in their words, 'the best
supporters in the world!' We will be
continuing to support the Broad Appeal in raising awareness of MND at future
events, which we will publicise on Facebook and Twitter. The Broad Appeal website

Jerusalem Hymn – A Favourite Barmy
Army Opener Song
“And did those feet in ancient time Walk
upon England's mountain green? And was the holy Lamb of God On
England's pleasant pastures seen? And did the countenance divine Shine
forth upon our clouded hills? And was Jerusalem builded here Among
those dark satanic mills? Bring me my bow of burning gold! Bring
me my arrows of desire! Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold! Bring
me my chariot of fire! I will not cease from mental fight
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand, Till we have built Jerusalem In England's green and pleasant land.”
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand, Till we have built Jerusalem In England's green and pleasant land.”
