LUKE LITTLER chose to support the MND Association with a donation after he won the World Grand Prix.
The Nuke thrashed rival Luke Humphries in the final to win his seventh major.
In doing so he had the honour of choosing which charity would receive a donation of £10,000.
Tournament sponsor BoyleSports provided the funds after announcing prior to the event that they would donate £20 to charity for every time double 20 was hit.
It was hit on 404 occasions, including 78 times by Littler, for a sum of £8,080, with the gambling company providing a little extra on top.
Littler, 18, then decided the huge cheque should go to the Motor Neurone Disease Association – an organisation dedicated to helping people with disorders of the motor neurons, including ALS.
He wrote on X: “Want to thank Boyle Sports who pledged a donation of £20 for every double 20 hit during the World Grand Prix and boosted it to £10k for a charity of my choice.
“I chose MND Association and know how much it will mean to them 🙏🏼”
Littler has previously shown support for the charity by wearing the MND Association logo on his shirt.
He said previously: “Being a rugby league fan I’ve seen the amazing fundraising work done for the Motor Neurone Disease Association, particularly by Rob Burrow and Kevin Sinfield in recent years.
Former England rugby league star Burrow died after a battle with MND in 2024, with his former team-mate Sinfield raising more than £10million for the charity.
Another former England rugby star, Lewis Moody, announced this month he is also suffering with the disease.
