To mark our 40th year we've asked people affected by MND, our supporters and staff to share their memories.
We’d love to see your favourite photos and the stories behind them. Your first marathon? First volunteering event? Share on social media using #MND40.
Here's some of the memories that have been shared already.
#MND40 so privileged and proud to have been first Association staff member to have completed the Ice Bucket Challenge. I will always remember IBC’s huge impact for #MND.
It's been a privilege for 5 years to work with the supporters of our cause. Every volunteer led event is inspirational. Our volunteers are simply the best! A favourite memory was celebrating the strength of our community on the @BBCBreakfast red sofa #mnd40
Joined the @mndassoc almost 11 years ago after being touched by this film https://t.co/GaZkNmVoHT first time I watched it was the night John passed away. 😢 #MND #MND40 #johnsjourney #ProudFundraiser
My memory is telling my grandmother who had #MND that I had secured a job at @mndassoc. She was so proud, and sadly died four days after I started working here. Still honoured to be part of the Association, and trying to make things better for those living with MND today. #MND40
My fave @mndassoc memory, sitting alongside @PeteCMND for one of our first ever Facebook livestreams. He was fab, I almost forgot our phone number 🤣 #MND40
In the 40th year I am proud to share my favourite @mndassoc memories #MND40 #BrumHalf #TenPeaksChallenge #DadsMemory https://t.co/fhVTmJLoVA
My favourite @mndassoc memory : crossing the finish line of my first marathon, Manchester 2018. A special man living with MND made me believe I could, so I did #MND40
As @mndassoc celebrate their 40th year, I'd like to share my connection. I lost my Dad & best bud to MND nearly 3 years ago, after he suffered with the cruel disease for 5 years! Since I've raised over £3000 & volunteer for the @MNDA_WestYorks branch! Here are some snaps #MND40 https://t.co/mzmYGumwjk
Thanks for all the hard work organising the day to everyone involved. And thank you to everyone who helps the Association in their aim for a world without MND #MND40 #MNDwarrior💥 https://t.co/4jtgCS0I6I
Yesterday on #MNDGlobalAwarenessDay we were honoured to attend an event to celebrate 40th Anniversary of the founding of the @mndassoc Formed by a few families in need who until finding each other felt isolated and alone, we are proud to continue the good work. #MND40 https://t.co/vs7aSKPI0V
