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 atrophy.

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

We need your support. Donations will be matched by Elizabeth's employer.

£10 will give someone who’s just been diagnosis with MND a comprehensive information and support guide

£120 could provide an overbed table, making it easier for someone with MND to eat, drink and read safely and comfortably in bed

£250 ensures a person facing MND in need of help has someone to speak to, funding 10 hours of our MND support line.

£280 could fund the coordination of care for someone with MND at a Care Centre for a year

£500 provides a tablet and software to enable someone who has lost their voice to communicate with their loved ones.

Thank you for making this possible!”
