More about Motor Neurone Disease Association
Motor neurone disease is a fatal, rapidly progressing disease that affects the brain and spinal cord. It attacks the nerves that control movement so muscles no longer work. MND can leave people locked into a failing body unable to move, talk, swallow and eventually breathe. It kills a third of people within a year and more than half within two years of diagnosis.
MND has no cure.
Six people are diagnosed with Motor neurone disease (MND) every day in the UK, and six people die from MND every day, with up to 5,000 people currently living with various stages of the condition.
People with MND, their families and carers are at the heart of everything the charity does.
