Motor Neurone Disease is a cruel disease and there is no treatment or cure!

Once a person has been diagnosed with MND their lives and the lives of their families are turned upside down.

MND is a muscle and nerve wasting disease and a person becomes trapped in a body they are unable to control. Gradually they cannot walk, talk, swallow, speak or breathe.

Our Branch is made up of highly trained volunteers, Association Visitors (AV), who will visit the person living with MND and their family to give them practical and emotional support through their journey. The AVs also assist in filling out complicated forms to get blue badges and monetary help, etc. The Association arrange for transport, counselling, massages, respite, equipment, and much more to make lives a little more comfortable. Help to get grants to supply larger and much needed equipment in a timely manner, avoiding long waiting lists.

So, fundraising is an essential part of our organisation and the fundraising team work hard in raising money to enable the AVs to do their job. We also support our Head Office in research to hopefully one day find a cure and treatment for this dreadful disease

We want our brave people living with MND to have a CHOICE and their voices to be heard.
