"It is so inspiring to see how everyone has taken this cause which means so much to us to their own hearts. Each day we see how funds like these make a direct difference to people living with MND and we are so grateful for everyone’s support.”
A person’s lifetime risk of developing MND is 1 in 300 and the fatal disease kills six people every day.
MND leaves people locked in a failing body unable to move, talk, swallow and eventually breathe.
