Motor neuron disease

[7NEWS Queensland @7NewsBrisbane]

Australia's longest surviving MND patient is working with researchers to understand why he's lived so long with the terminal disease. Peter Ruddock was diagnosed 34 years ago, and on the eve of the Big Freeze, paid special tribute to old friend Neale Daniher.

The Big Freeze is back. And this year's celebration will be a special one - as we all come together in Neale Daniher's honour.

You can grab a Big Freeze beanie to show support for this cause - and continue Neale's incredible legacy in raising awareness for MND.

Lou Gehrig was the epitome of strength in more ways than one.

The Iron Horse became the first American League player to hit four home runs in one game #OTD in 1932 as he led the @Yankees to a 20-13 victory. https://t.co/m4OKywem6Y

June's NeuRA All-Staff Meeting shone a topical spotlight on Motor Neurone Disease, current research and the experience of people living with it every day, in the lead up to MND Awareness Day on June 21.

Clinical Trials Specialist Eleanor Ramsey, part of the Kiernan Group at NeuRA, shared an update on the team’s work and impact. Additionally we were joined by Michael O’Hehir, who is living with MND and has been involved in the RESCUE-ALS Trial, speaking on his experience and the importance of trials like these.

We also had an in-conversation with Director of Communications Tom Smithies and NeuRA’s new Research Strategy and Quality Manager, Alex Economides, on his journey that led him to NeuRA, as well as CEO Professor Matthew Kiernan AM updating on what is happening in and around NeuRA and the research sphere.

They’ve done it.

Thirty-three marathons in as many days, the FTD Brothers Jordan and Cian Adams have completed their challenge - to raise funds and awareness for a rare form of dementia.

Crowds in Dublin cheered and music played as Jordan and Cian crossed the line for the final time.
