Hello there! Thank you for visiting our JustGiving page!

We are the RNA Biology Lab, a team of researchers working on motor neuron disease (MND) at SITraN. This year we will be taking on the Big Walk on Friday the 28th June 2024 in support of MND research at the University of Sheffield.

MND is a terminal condition. It affects the brain and nerves and is nearly always fatal. There is currently no cure. It is commonly regarded as a rare condition. But this isn't true. 1 in every 300 people, across all UK communities, will develop MND in their lifetime. MND kills six people in the UK every day, with a third of those diagnosed losing their lives within just a year. Tragically, people die from this devastating disease because there are currently no treatments that can stop it. Your support can make a much needed breakthrough in MND come sooner. And improve the lives of patients long into the future.

Any donations to help support our research are greatly appreciated.
