Motor Neurone Disease Association

Motor neurone disease (MND) is a fatal, rapidly progressing neurological disease. Today six people will be diagnosed with MND, and six people will die from the disease. There is no cure. 

A diagnosis of MND brings home the preciousness of every day. So we do all we can to make every day count. We bring understanding and guidance. We deliver practical and financial support. We raise awareness and campaign for better care.

We’re not just here for now – as the UK’s leading charity funder of MND research, we’re striving for breakthroughs to develop new treatments and, ultimately, a cure.

MND moves fast. It takes away time, it takes away independence and it has no cure. Every piece of support, every research project, every pound raised, every kind word, and every day lived well, matters.

“After I was diagnosed with MND, I've never cried so much as I did that night. I just cried and cried. I told my husband and he said, 'you are still the same person'. I thought yes, that's right - I'm Yvonne, not MND.'”

People living with MND need support now. Your donation each month will help. Together we can support more people affected by MND and help make every day matter.

£20 could help us campaign for better care for people with MND.

£50 could support our MND Connect helpline, providing vital information and support.

£100 could speed up research to understand, diagnose and treat MND.
