Motor Neurone Disease (MND), is a group of diseases that affect the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that tell your muscles what to do.

Also known as ALS, it causes muscle weakness and extreme stiffness.  Eventually, people with the disease are unable to move, talk, swallow and finally, breathe.

There is currently no known cure and the exact causes are unclear, but in a recent breakthrough by scientists at the University of Exeter, it is believed that cholesterol may be involved.

We are attempting to raise funds in order to further support the research that is currently happening but also to help give sufferers hope that a cure may well still be found.

How can you help...

We are asking people to take a picture of an egg, upload your image to Instagram or Facebook using the hashtag #MNDeggchallenge and then make a donation to the MND charity. You could paint your egg, decorate it, take a selfie with it, have your dog pose with it or even place it in a beautiful setting and take a picture!

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Warm regards xx
