Thinking of my neighbour of 20+ years and his family today who we sadly lost to this cruel disease.
In honour of him, I’d like to donate to @mndassoc in hope of continued improvements or miraculous cure in near future 🤞🏼💙

My dear Dad died on Tuesday, ravaged by the horrific symptoms of #motorneuronedisease - without the support of @mndassoc we wouldn’t have coped. If you have any spare pennies, please donate to an incredibly important charity x

[MotorNeuroneDisease @MNDPatients]

Up to date facts of Motor Neurone Disease. Every week in the #UK alone 42 people die. A person's lifetime risk of developing MND is around 1 in 300. #NoCause #NoCure for #MND #ALS #EndALS #EndMND

[MND Association @mndassoc]

Earlier this week, @MartynDaySNP led the #MNDResearchDebate in Parliament, calling on the Gov't to invest £50m in #MND research🧠🧑🏼‍🔬

In the article below, he says "if we are to find a cure for this condition we all must play our part." #United2EndMND

Thrilled to confirm we are scrapping the #6months rule for SRTI. We will be improving awareness and following the NHS definition. Thank you to all the Health & Disability charities and campaigners who have supported this campaign especially @mariecurieuk & @mndassoc

[MND Campaigns @mndcampaigns]

"When will the Gov't publish its review and finally scrap the six-month rule, as it has committed to do so?"

Huge thanks to @wendychambLD for raising #Scrap6Months at today's #PMQs ahead of the two-year anniversary of the review this Sunday. #MND👊
