I first got involved with the Motor Neurone Disease Association (MNDA) at the beginning of 2014 and I have watched this awful disease take so many wonderful people from their families and friends. It has devastated so many lives, not only the ones affected by the disease but their loved ones and friends as well.

I am doing this because I want to help make a difference and put an end to the pain and misery that Motor Neurone Disease (MND) causes.

MND is a progressive disease that attacks the motor neurones, or nerves, in the brain and spinal cord. This means messages gradually stop reaching muscles, which leads to weakness and wasting.

MND can affect how you walk, talk, eat, drink and breathe. However, not all symptoms necessarily happen to everyone and it is unlikely they will all develop at the same time, or in any specific order.
