Here is an example of why I am trying to raise money and awareness of MND. Last weekend I join a facebook group call ‘Motor Neurone Disease together we stand’. This is being maintained by a lady in the Bournemouth area who has Motor Neurone Disease and is something of a blog of the way it is shaping her life. Please take a look.MND Together We Stand
As a result of my post on her wall, another young lady made a donation on my JustGiving page. Her mother had died of MND, a week before. Today I have learned that her sister has also just died (2 weeks after her mother) of MND.
It is over 25 years since I lost my mother and father-in-law to MND. Research has made progress and some gene abnormalities have been established as probable indicators. Maybe a breakthrough in cure or even prevention is on the horizon. But research costs money.
It also costs money to support sufferers and their families. Expensive equipment may be needed as the strength to walk goes. Constant care is needed when the ability to feed oneself goes. Some people suffer for many years (a near neighbour of mine was diagnosed about 6 years ago and MND is making slow progress).
Please help by making a donation.
