@Stagecoach_East there’s no #13 bus between 5:30 and 7 pm into Cambridge from Babraham. Bus around 6 pm was cancelled and the next at 6:30 is 30 minutes late. The bus is meant to run every 30 minutes, and these delays happen all the time. Please fix your buses!

I’ve been taking part in the Walk for Parkinson’s 100 mile challenge, where I’m aiming to walk 100 miles in May. Please consider donating, you will be supporting Parkinson’s UK who fund vital research into Parkinson’s disease. https://t.co/z3tkOjLknJ

@Stagecoach_East I missed the bus at 16:44 today from Babraham to Cambridge. The next bus at 17:14 didn’t turn up, neither did the 17:44 or 18:14. A bus finally came at 18:30. It was 0C outside. My toes completely froze. Not okay! This happens more often than not. Fix your buses!

Honoured to be part of this study that furthers our understanding and gets us closer to potential treatments for #MND A cell-penetrant peptide blocking C9ORF72-repeat RNA nuclear export reduces the neurotoxic effects of dipeptide repeat proteins https://t.co/NDpplA6M8s

At least one of my hobbies is useful 🤷🏻‍♀️ spent way more time on this than I thought. I guess a few minutes a day adds up to a lot! #Duolingo365

[MND Association @mndassoc]

Promising #MND research news this evening after an extended clinical trial for the drug #Tofersen, has shown promise in slowing progression in the inherited SOD1 form of motor neurone disease.

Before the switch I had 39% of the course I’m doing completed. With the new update, according to the mastery quiz, I only completed 25% of the course 🤷🏻‍♀️ @duolingo you promised that we’d keep our progress with the new update. This has clearly not happened. Please undo the update.

[Nora Markus @norimarkus]

Does anyone else hate the new #duolingoupdate? Getting rid of the choice of what to learn and when has completely ruined the app. It’s made me lose all motivation to learn. I’m thinking of ending my 750 day streak. This was one of my favourite apps, @duolingo please fix it!

@Sarah_Roscoe_ who I worked with in Sheffield (and who has tried to teach me some rock climbing), completed the @DragonsBackRace in support of the Motor neurone disease association. What an amazing achievement, well done Sarah! Please consider donating to this worthy cause! #ALS

[South Yorkshire MNDA @SYMNDA]

Goosebumps! @Sarah_Roscoe_ just completed the 380 km @DragonsBackRace and raised £1,400 for the @mndassoc. Her effort is true inspiration and her persistence is deeply moving.

Well done Sarah, we are very proud.

Hear Sarah's story and donate here:

Devastated to hear about the passing of Taylor Hawkins. He had unbeatable energy on stage and I'm grateful I got to see him play live with @foofighters twice. He's going to be irreplacable for the band. My heart goes out to his loved ones. #TaylorHawkins #GoneTooSoon

It's the first of the month and as always, time to raise awareness of motor neurone disease (#MND).

Please share our infographic and make sure at least one more person knows more about this disease 🧡 thank you for your support!
