Nurses from Lancashire Teaching Hospitals trust and East
Lancashire Teaching Hospitals trust are uniting in the fight against Motor neurone disease (MND).
Julie Sala MND Nurse Specialist from the MND Care and Research Centre at RPH along with Tracy Sconce Clinical Team Leader from ELHT Colne District Nurses. They will lead the team from Royal Preston Hospital to Colne health centre the total distance is 30 miles. The walk takes part on the 23rd of September. This is the third year Julie and Tracy have organised this walk last year they raised a massive £7.500.
Julie previously worked for ELHT Colne District Nurses but is now on secondment to RPH MND Care and Research Centre. Julie holds the cause close to her heart as she lost her husband to MND. MND is such a cruel terrible disease which is fatal and has no known cure; leaving people unable to walk, talk, or feed themselves. MND affects up to 5,000 adults in the UK at any one time. This means it is considered a relatively rare disease. Funds raised will be divided between the Motor Neurones Disease Association for Research and The MND Care Centre for education and monitoring equipment.
