Dr Brian Dickie, our Chief Scientist, appeared on @SkySports to explain what motor neurone disease is, how it affects people in sport, and the progress we’re making in MND research. Watch here. 🔗skysports.com/rugby-union/ne…

Team LDN 2026, take a bow. To every single person who ran for the fight against motor neurone disease, you’ve done an amazing thing. You should be so proud of yourselves. 241 runners took to the course, supported by a sea of supporters across 2 cheerpoints, a post-race reception, and throughout the track. To everyone who made today what it was and contributed to the phenomenal amount of money raised—thank you. 🧡

Tune it to @ITV at 17:45 this evening to see @katelawler compete on Celebrity Catchphrase in aid of the fight against motor neurone disease. 🧡 We can't wait to see how she got on. 👀 #CelebrityCatchphrase

We're so sorry to hear this sad news - our sympathies are with Geoff's family and everyone @LeedsRhinos who has worked so closely with the Burrow family over so many years.

With motor neurone disease, every minute matters. That’s why we’re delighted that the Government has committed to introducing a fast‑track passport for people with MND, helping them access vital support services more quickly. Zoe, who has MND and worked closely with the team behind this important win, has shared her reflections.

The biggest annual conference dedicated to motor neurone disease research in the world will be held in Amsterdam this December. Hosted by the MND Association for the 37th year, we’ll bring together the world’s leading MND scientists to share progress. Read more below.

A new fast‑track passport for people with MND is at the heart of recommended health and social care reforms announced yesterday. We’ve worked with the Commission and our community to shape these proposals through lived experience. Explore the work so far and read more. 🔗

Our Head of Research, Dr Nick Cole, features in a new BBC documentary exploring a possible link between rugby and neurological conditions. 'Ben Youngs investigates: How safe is rugby?' is available to watch now on BBC iPlayer and screens on BBC One at 22:45 on Tuesday 3 March.

A week ago today, we marked the start of a new chapter for the MND Association at a launch event alongside our Royal Patron, HRH The Princess Royal, people with MND and our supporters. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the evening so meaningful. 🔗mndassociation.org/media/latest-n…

A message from MND Association ambassador Charlie Ireland as the Run31 challenge comes to a close. 👏

A privilege as @mndassoc patron to be at the unveiling of their new logo 🧡 I met so many incredible people, sadly many facing MND. Praying for a breakthrough in finding a cure, & for treatments currently available to be accessible to all those who desperately need them 🙏

@UHSFT you must save the lives of those in your area who need Tofersen to stay alive. People will die if you refuse to help them! Please change your mind on this 🙏🏿

A brand isn’t just a logo. It’s everything. Every moment of support, every day of research, every bit of awareness. Find out more about our new look and feel, shaped by you, the MND community.

Thank you @jjanisiobi for being such a great Ambassador for us 🙏

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.

Mark is fundraising for his neighbour, Harry - helping people affected by MND and their families 💙🧡 That’s his reason why. What’s yours? Sign up today and join #TeamMND.
