Motor Neuron Disease (MND) is a rapidly progressing terminal illness which stops signals from the brain reaching the muscles. It can rob people of their ability to walk, talk, swallow or breathe unaided. Someone’s lifetime risk of getting MND is 1 in 300 and the average life expectancy is just 19 months from diagnosis. There is currently no cure or meaningful treatment for this devastating disease.
MND Scotland funds ground-breaking research to bring us closer to finding a cure. We campaign to fix a broken system and to secure lasting change. When time matters most, we’re a helping hand of support, so people with MND can make precious time count with the ones they love. Whether that’s helping families make memories through accessible holidays, grants to improve quality of life to an advocate to fight their corner and secure essential home adaptions faster, we’re here to help.
Together we will make time count and beat MND!
