Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.  My uncle, Muhammad Saleem, was diagnosed with MND in November 2018 and sadly lost his fight against this cruel disease on the 12th March 2020.

MND is a rare progressive terminal disease that affects the nerves in the brain and spinal cord leading to muscle wastage and currently there is no known cure. 

My uncle worked for the Railways for over 41 years from the time of British Rail era.  He was a kind-hearted soul and a passion for the work he did and outside of work always helped others.  

It is very saddening to see someone so active with so much life to do things suddenly not being able too.  This disease came from nowhere, slowly shutting down my uncle's body leaving him unable to walk and unable to talk.

There is no cure for this horrible disease except raising awareness and helping fund the research for a cure. 

We need your support.£120 could provide an overbed table, making it easier for someone with MND to eat, drink and read safely and comfortably in bed£230 could fund the coordination of care for someone with MND at a Care Centre for a year£500 could provide a tablet device with specialist communication software, allowing someone to communicate with loved ones£750 could fund an MND expert researcher for a weekEvery penny raised from The Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon will bring us closer to achieving our ultimate mission; a world free from MND.
