I was diagnosed with Motor Neuron Disease in October 2020. Since then, the progression has been relatively slow and mainly affects my arms and hands . Thankfully I'm still able to walk and talk. With MND I'm not in any pain, but the frustration is a daily battle as I can't do all the normal little things I used to be able to do. Simple things like tying shoe laces or opening milk are becoming much harder to do. However I have accepted that and constantly need to to adapt the old ways of carrying out simple tasks, but I get them done all the same. I want to take this opportunity to Thank the IMNDA, my family ,colleagues, friends and all the community groups in West cavan for supporting me. Move with me in March through a number of events from the 17th-19th March. Events include walking, running, cycling, golfing, kayaking & GAA. Full Event Details to Follow

Well done The Smugglers for organising the event and all who took part
The Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association (IMNDA) is the only organisation of its kind in the country providing specialised services to families affected by this terminal condition.
The Association cannot slow the progression of MND or change the outcome but we can alleviate the feelings of isolation and frustration. We offer consistent support to approximately 450 families across Ireland who otherwise would have nowhere else to turn. Everybody with MND has different needs at different stag
