After losing my grandma Kath Draper to a disease I'd previously never heard of just over two years ago, I decided I'd like raise money for Motor Neuron disease association, and awareness to a disease we all know so little about.

Motor Neurone Disease (MND) is a progressive disease that attacks the motor neurones, or nerves, in the brain and spinal cord. This means messages gradually stop reaching muscles, which leads to weakness and wasting.

MND can affect how you walk, talk, eat, drink and breathe. However, not all symptoms necessarily happen to everyone and it is unlikely they will all develop at the same time, or in any specific order.

Although there is currently no cure for MND, symptoms can be managed to help you achieve the best possible quality of life.

 

Motor Neurone disease association has a vision of a world free from MND and are committed to playing a key role in the history of MND by funding and promoting research.
