MNDA

Here are some of our projects that you can help with right now

About the charity

The Motor Neurone Disease Association is the national organisation for England, Wales and Northern Ireland. We fund world class research to find a cure for MND and also provide practical support for people living with the disease.

MND is the name given to a group of related diseases affecting the motor neurones (nerve cells) in the brain and spinal cord. As the motor neurones gradually die, the muscles stop working.

MND is a rapidly progressive, fatal disease that can affect any adult at any time. The cause of MND is unknown and there is no known cure. MND leaves people trapped in a failing body, unable to walk, talk or feed themselves.

MND kills five people a day in the UK. Life expectancy for those with MND is often less than five years and around half will die within 14  months of diagnosis. 

Our mission is to fund and promote research to bring about an end to MND. Until then we will do all that we can to enable everyone with MND to receive the best care, achieve the highest quality of life possible, and die with dignity. We will also do all that we can to support the families and carers of people with MND.

Our vision is of a world free of MND.
