Every day in the UK, six people are told they have motor neurone disease (MND). In an instant, their world ‒ and that of their loved ones - is shattered.
It attacks the nerves, leaving those affected unable to walk, talk, eat, or breathe. There are no effective treatments, or a cure. Without support, people can feel fearful, isolated and alone.
At the MND Association, we're fighting for a world free from MND and we'd love for you to join us.
Your donation will help us to provide coordinated care and equipment, fund our helpline, and ease the devastating financial burden MND has. Here’s what your money could do:
- £35 could buy a memory box for a child affected by MND, enabling them to create lasting memories of a loved one.
- £160 could fund a specialist communication app, allowing someone with MND to continue to communicate with loved ones.
- £280 could fund the co-ordination of care for a person with MND at a Care Centre for a year.
- £700 could buy a seat riser, allowing someone with MND to raise their wheelchair so that they can reach shelves and talk to someone at eye level.
