The Motor Neurone Disease Association is the only national charity in England, Wales and Northern Ireland focused on improving access to care, research and campaigning.
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.
MND attacks and damages the nerves which take messages to the muscles. Within months a person may lose their voice, their movement and, ultimately, their ability to breathe. Some people experience changes in thinking and behaviour. MND doesn’t affect sight, hearing or touch.
A third of people die within a year of diagnosis, and more than half within two years. It affects people from all backgrounds, of all ages although MND is more prevalent in men, and a person’s risk increases as they get older.
More than 5,000 people in the UK are living with MND at any one time.
For people with MND and their families, every day matters.
The MND Association provides information and support to people with MND, raises awareness and campaigns for better care. As the UK’s leading charity funder of MND research it is also paving the way for a world free from MND.
“Motor neurone disease is a cruel disease. It strips people of their independence and it moves fast. That’s why the donations we receive from Charity Car and their generous customers really matter. By donating your car to Charity Car you can really make a difference to the work we do – supporting people with MND and their families, campaigning for better care and driving forward progress to effective new treatments. Thank you for your support.”
