#TakeOverMND

This January we're aiming to find 1,000 people to sign up to fundraise and help take over MND! Pledge your support by signing up to an event in 2024!

The money raised will help to provide care and support for people affected by MND. For example, grants to help with the financial costs of living with MND, support for children and young people affected by MND including counselling and help for families to make precious memories. It will fund specialist MND care coordinators who help to ensure people affected by MND get the best possible care from relevant health and social care professionals, and fund vital research to bring us closer to finding a cure.

"My family and I understand the impact of motor neurone disease (MND) more than most. In the last five years we’ve lost two of my aunties and my dad to the disease. In 2019 I was diagnosed with MND myself. I didn’t think I would be given that news, but the consultant sat me down and told me I did have MND. It was devastating. I was just thinking about my daughter, my family, my life. What was going to happen? The MND Association has been pivotal for me in dealing with my diagnosis. From advice about how to tell my daughter I have MND, to providing grants to help transform a wet room at home so I can retain my independence. That support is a lifeline. That’s why I’m urging as many people as possible to get involved and help raise money this year. It means so much and will help so many people."
