Ranajit Paul Choudhury - সর্বদা আমাদের হৃদয়ে

Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. The Motor Neurone Disease Association is a charity that works closely with individuals and families suffering from, and fighting against, motor neurone disease (MND). It is a charity very close to my heart. I'll be committing myself to an ironman triathlon - 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike, 26.2 mile run - on the 16th of December to hopefully raise funds for the MNDA and their amazing work.

MND is a terminal illness that progresses over time. With MND, messages from the motor neurones gradually stop reaching the muscles. This leads the muscles to weaken, stiffen and waste. MND can affect how you walk, talk, eat, drink and breathe. Please visit the charity's website to learn more about the disease: https://www.mndassociation.org/about-mnd/what-is-mnd/? Improving awareness is so important. Though it's quite a rare illness, almost everyone suffering from the disease finds themselves diagnosed late in the process and therefore always playing catch up. With typically such little time to adjust, any donations and support go a long way in enabling independence and supporting people to cope with the immense changes wrought by MND. 

The charity has supported thousands of families in this sense, from covering the cost of essential items such as wheelchairs and accompanying ramps, to providing psychological support and counselling - all while funding research into the currently unknown origins and treatments of the disease. 

Thank you again.
