MND is a fatal condition that devastates the lives of thousands of people in the UK each year. It weakens and wastes the muscles, resulting in loss of mobility and speech, difficulties with swallowing and ultimately, breathing. There is no known cure and very little alleviating treatment. 30% of people with MND die within a year of diagnosis.
Due to its degenerative nature, the disease can make huge financial and emotional demands on people with MND and their families.Cuts to services provided by the NHS and social services, combined with more people living with MND, means that the MND Association is seeing a a high number of requests for support.
The money raised will primarily be used to give people living with MND a better quality of life, for example by subsidising the purchase of vital equipment, offering respite care and assisting with home modification. It may also be used, among other things, to fund vital research into the causes of and treatment for MND.
