Story

Thank you for taking the time to visit my donation page - if you don’t know already Motor Neurone Disease (MND) affects 5000 people in this country alone at any one time.

·         MND is a rapidly progressive, fatal disease that can affect any adult at any time – there is no logical in how/why someone gets MND.

 ·         The cause of MND is unknown and there is no known cure.

 ·         In the UK at least five people a day die from MND.

·         Life expectancy for most people with MND is just two to five years, and around half will die within 14 months of diagnosis.  

My Aim before this incurable disease beats is to raise a significant amount of money to Contribute towards funding to promote scientific research which can develop treatments and ultimately find a cure.
