Countdown to Senedd Election Day
Will you champion people with motor neurone disease?
We’re asking candidates standing in the 2026 Senedd election to sign up to make Amser i MND – a commitment that if you become an MS, you will champion people with and affected by motor neurone disease (MND) in the next Senedd.
Please complete the form to confirm that you are a Senedd election candidate committing to make Amser i MND.
Why is this important?
Few diseases are as devastating as motor neurone disease (MND). It is a progressive and incurable condition which affects the brain and central nervous system, eventually leaving people unable to move, speak, swallow and ultimately breathe.
A third of people with MND die within a year of diagnosis, and more than half within two years.
There is no cure.
What could I do as an MS?
Based on feedback from the MND community, healthcare professionals and other key stakeholders, the MND Manifesto for Wales identifies five key areas to focus on with the aim of improving the lives of people living with and affected by MND in Wales.
- Universal health and care provision across Wales
- Secure and accessible housing
- Supporting MND carers
- Championing MND research
- Changing the political landscape in Wales
We urge all political parties and all candidates to commit to our asks to help us achieve a Wales where MND is treatable and curable, and everyone is able to access the care they need when they need it.
