Motor Neurone Disease
Imagine a healthy and alert mind trapped inside a body that can't move, but can still think and feel. That's the devastating reality of Motor Neurone Disease.
MND is a rapidly progressive, fatal disease. It attacks the motor neurones that send messages from the brain to the muscles, leaving people unable to walk, talk or feed themselves.
Around 5,000 people in the UK have MND at any one time. With no cure half die within 14 months of diagnosis.
The MND Association wants to see a world free of MND. We fund and promote research to help bring about an end to the disease.
Until then, we do all we can to ensure everyone with MND receives the best possible care. We are also dedicated to supporting the families and carers of people with MND.
