MND Association

This is us, the MND Association. Renewed, united and driven every day to make change happen. Every day we support people affected by motor neurone disease, campaign for better care and fund ground-breaking research. Because with MND, every day matters.

Motor neurone disease was a focal point of last night's episode of #TheDogHouse on @Channel4 . 🧡 Lizzie, a familiar face from @WoodgreenPets and the show, joined us for an episode of MND Matters. She shared her personal experience of MND after her husband was diagnosed, as well as touching on the amazing role dogs can play in helping us navigate the toughest times. 🐕 Listen here.🔗 pod.fo/e/3fdf1b

It, for example, can help you continue the activities you love — like gardening — or help with the cost of support to maintain your outdoor space. Find out more: mndassoc.org/supportfunds
