In 2018 my cousin Kelly was diagnosed with motor neurone disease at the age of 35. Seeing the effects this had on Kelly's life and the people in the world who love her was eye opening. The struggles she has faced daily, even long before her diagnosis, are unimaginable. The things that most people take for granted such as communication and mobility are gradually taken from people suffering from MND. It's difficult appreciate how alone it must feel to fight such a rare disease, knowing there is no cure.

Not everyone with this condition is lucky enough to have the endless love and support that Kelly has. Although she has shown unfathomable amounts of strength and positivity, even the strongest of people need help sometimes

and there is something you can do to help...

The Motor Neurone Disease Association provide support and aid for people that are affected by this condition. They help them find and seek support in the other mere 5000 people in the UK that have the condition. They provide support in physical aid and benefits. Even the smallest donations can contribute to helping someone like Kelly that is struggling in a time of adversity. Even if you cannot afford to donate, just sharing this page can spread awareness for the charity and the disease.

The more people that know about the affects motor neurone disease has on life, the more people can support the fight against it.
