We’d like to say a huge thank you to @anbar1 and @mbarrow1 for sharing their #MND #ALS journey today at #MNDEnCouRageUK 2025 🧡💙 The real world perspectives session is a stark reminder that there are people behind every piece of research and we can’t solve the puzzle without them 🧩

At #MNDEnCouRageUK 2025 we’ve just heard 3 minute lightning talks from the early career researchers 🔬 There was a huge range of #MND #ALS research presented from what's going wrong in cells to improving diagnosis and care! This shows just how much research is happening across the UK 🗺️



The £83.30 per week Carer’s Allowance isn’t a wage. It’s a token. It works out to £3.56 per hour for 35 hours — and many carers give 60–100 hours a week. That’s 24/7 responsibility with no sick pay, no annual leave, no pension, and no job security 🧵

🎉 5,000 golf balls hit & over £3,000 raised in the #MNDDriveathon for #MND and Anna’s story! 👏 A huge thank you to everyone who took part, donated & showed up to support. There's still time to donate: justgiving.com/crowdfunding/m… #MNDawareness @mndassoc @MNDManchester
