We won't let MND take away who people truly are.
Today, six people will be diagnosed, and another six people will die from motor neurone disease (MND). There is no cure, yet. It moves fast, taking precious time away.
Often within months, MND can take away your movement, your voice, and ultimately your ability to breathe. But we’re here so people with MND aren’t alone. To help someone be the person they are. And live the best life possible for as long as possible.
In 2025 we helped 1,732 people with MND, family members, or carers make the most of every day. But there are so many more people who need our help right now.
Will you donate today and make a difference to so many lives, while there’s still time...
"I’m not ‘Patrick, the guy with MND'."
"I once played in bands... Since I was diagnosed with MND it’s taken many things away. But I still compose music thanks to support funds from the MND Association. Whatever I write on my special software, my old guitarist plays for me.
I’m still fully alert, thinking faster than I can speak.
I ask people to be patient, remember I am still here, and still have dreams to follow.”
Patrick, who is living with MND
“People need help now. Wellbeing is so important."
My husband David died of MND, just seven months after being diagnosed. Which is why I am so determined to help other people with MND make every day matter.
I help people apply for MND Association support funds, funded by your generous donations. When you know your time is limited, when you’re facing a disease that can’t yet be beaten, making every day matter means everything.
Tracy, MND Association Volunteer
"Never give up."
"My retirement plans for landscape photography were shattered. The thought of being in a wheelchair after such an active life was depressing.
I often woke up at night in a state of panic.
Getting out provides such a boost to my well-being. I hope that others living with this awful disease can find a way to live life to the fullest."
Ken, who is living with MND
"I only have this help thanks to you."
"From the moment I was diagnosed it was very important to me to make memories with my husband, family and friends. The support funds from the MND Association make it possible, which means the world to me.
It’s about living in the moment, smiling, and feeling positive.”
As a group leader for my local MND Association group, I see so much good being done by these funds every day.”
Sam, who is living with MND
We know that when people are losing mobility or feeling anxious about increased costs as a result of diagnosis, they really appreciate our help to keep on doing the things they love. When your time is limited, making every day matter means everything.
"I want people to remember I’m not the guy with MND, I’m me."
"With the right equipment, I have a renewed zest for life. My wildlife photographs help me forget my MND."
"Support funds help me make special memories with my husband, family and friends." Sam, 35, memory-maker
You can help more people like Patrick, Ken and Sam make the most of every day.
Together, we can help make every day matter. Your kind gift today will give people living with MND what they need the most: vital support to stay independent for longer, be themselves, and make their own choices, while also funding vital MND research to search for a cure.
