Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Motor Neurone Disease (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.
Although there is currently no cure for MND, symptoms can be managed to help you achieve the best possible quality of life.
The Ian Pratt Foundation MND was set up by Ian Pratt in 2016 to support people living with MND.
It has three main aims:
- To Raise awareness of Motor Neurone Disease, MND
- To support those affected by MND and their families
- To support research into causes and hopefully, one day, a cure for MND
