Story
In February 2018 our Husband and Dad was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease.
Motor Neurone Disease (MND) is a cruel and rare disease with no known cause or cure. MND is progressive and attacks the nerves, in the brain and spinal cord. This means messages can rapidly stop reaching muscles leading to weakness and wasting. MND can affect how you walk, talk, eat, drink and breathe.
It was a shock to us at just how little is known about MND, with local services such as GP's and Health Visitors having never treated an MND patient before. It was evident that more needs to be done to find a way to alleviate the symptoms and find a cure.
Within 4 months of diagnosis we had lost our Husband and Dad, we battled against every symptom during this time to make him as comfortable as possible but it was difficult to know where to turn for advice and support.
The MND Association is the only national charity that provides care, support and research for people affected by the condition. Please help us to increase awareness and raise funds for this very worthwhile and important charity.
We appreciate any donations you are able to make.
