January 2017 we were given the devastating news with Mams diagnosis of Motor Neurone Disease. Since that day the IMNDA have been a great support to us as a family and have been there for us on the journey so far. I have decided to do the Mini Marathon this year to fundraise for this fantastic association!

Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association

Motor Neurone Disease was described by the Sports Broadcaster Colm Murray as the 'PITS' - Progressive, Incurable & Terminal. The Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association is the only organisation of its kind in Ireland providing vital care and support to families living with this condition. MND affects everybody differently but usually the disease will result in a loss of independence. Every day things we take for granted like walking, talking and eating may become virtually impossible The journey with MND is a series of losses. The IMNDA aims to alleviate frustration, fear and anxiety that is often felt by the whole family. Imagine been told you only had 3 years to live? Imagine dealing with this condition and not been able to access vital services immediately? Waiting is not an option for someone with MND. The IMNDA is here to help. We consistently support approximately 350 people with Motor Neurone Disease at any one time across Ireland. Everybodys needs vary but we are here regardless of when and how we are needed. Our services are immediate and free of charge and include the provision of equipment, home visits by an MND Nurse, financial assistance towards home care and counselling. Your donations to the IMNDA matter more than you realise, without fundraising and donations we simply would not be here. Over 80% of our income comes from people like you. Your contribution is ABSOLUTELY VITAL to families affected by MND. Please continue to help us help them. Thank you
