Motor neurone disease

 

As a Branch we are supporting the MND association in their campaign to raise awareness in MND, below is a short extract on what MND is :-

 

Motor Neurone Disease (MND) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that attacks the upper and lower motor neurones.
 

Degeneration of the motor neurones leads to weakness and wasting of muscles, causing increasing loss of mobility in the limbs, and difficulties with speech, swallowing and breathing.

 

Please take the time to view their website and give yourself an insight into MND, it's symptoms, and diagnosis.

Also there is currently and Early Day Motion (EDM) that has been tabled in parliament to support the call for a national strategy on MND
