Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Awareness Month

By
June 2015
Motor Neurone Disease or MND is a progressive disease that attacks the nerves in the brain and the spinal cord.  As a result and as the disease progresses it can affect the way you walk, talk, eat, drink and breathe.  At the current time there is an estimated 5000 people suffering from MND in the UK, there is no known cure and it still remains a severely life shortening condition. The Motor Neurone Disease Association (MNDA) is a UK based charity that focuses on care, research and campaigning.  Throughout the month of June 2015 there will be a series of events to raise awareness of MND and bring into the forefront of the public’s mind.  For further information please see: http://www.mndassociation.org/
