Story

We're raising money for the Motor Neurone Disease Association, because we want to help beat MND.

Some of you may already know, Ryan's Mum, Ann has suffered with MND for over 12 years and we have seen the true brutality of how the disease attacks the whole nervous system. MND can affect how you walk, talk, eat, drink and breathe. Currently there is no cure.

The past 12 months have been the most difficult for Ann, as she is in constant pain, has limited ability to communicate and now requires specialist 24/7 care in a Nursing Home - something which has been incredibly tough for the whole family to adjust to.

We want to help the MND Association to achieve their vision; a world free from MND. We would love your support, every penny counts.

£120 could provide an overbed table, making it easier for someone with MND to eat, drink and read safely and comfortably in bed.

£280 could fund the coordination of care for someone with MND at a Care Centre for a year.

£500 could provide a tablet device with specialist communication software, allowing someone to communicate with loved ones.
