KD UK

are the only UK based charity for Kennedy’s Disease (KD); a non-profit organisation run by volunteers and sufferers. They realise that more is needed to help raise the awareness of this awful disease and want to make sure that people out there hear about Kennedy’s Disease and the effect it has on sufferers, carers, family and friends. There is only one centre carrying out vital research in the UK and hope that our efforts will help them to find a cure for this disease

Kennedy’s Disease, or X-linked motor neuron disease, is a rare inherited neuromuscular disorder. It is an adult onset, progressive disorder, characterised by the degeneration of lower motor neurons within the spinal cord and brainstem. This causes progressive weakening and wasting of the muscles particularly in the arms and legs.

Although they predominantly work with families living with neurological conditions and damage (Alzheimer’s, Depression, Head injury etc) they also work with children on both the hospital wards and in artists events.
Recently they have started to introduce carers and bereavement workshops and plan to broaden the areas they work to some of the smaller towns and villages of Derbyshire.
