Meet The Neuruns!

We're running the Edinburgh Marathon relay to raise money for The Euan MacDonald Centre, which uses research to improve the lives of people living with motor neuron disease (MND) and related conditions.

What is MND?

• MND affects cells in the brain and spinal cord, causing progressive muscle weakness and eventual paralysis.

• It’s estimated that one in 300 people will be diagnosed with MND.

• There is currently no cure or effective treatment for MND and it’s usually fatal within 2-3 years of diagnosis.

• Famous people who had MND include Rob Burrow, Ronnie Corbett, Prof Stephen Hawking and Doddie Weir.

Our research involves:

• Conducting drug discovery and pre-clinical laboratory experiments,

• Developing large scale MND clinical trials,

• Training the next generation of MND researchers,

• Promoting awareness of MND by engaging with those with lived experience.

We hope that you will support the Euan MacDonald Centre and help to continue the vital research into this cruel disease.
