MND is a fatal, rapidly progressive disease that affects the brain and spinal cord. It attacks the nerves that control movement so muscles refuse to work. It can leave people locked in a failing body, unable to move, talk and eventually breath. It kills a third of people within a year and more than half within two years of diagnosis, and it has no cure.
The MND Association was founded in 1979. Our mission is to improve care and support for people with MND, their families and carers. We also fund and promote research that leads to new understanding and treatments and brings us closer to a cure for MND. Find out more about The MND on our website.
There are lots of ways you can get involved and support the MND Association. We recognise that all time is valuable, so whether you can only donate time as a one-off or become a regular volunteer, we’re grateful for your support.
