We are doing this Christmas swim as a family to help support the IMNDA and in memory of family members who have died recently. Motor Neurone Disease is 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. There is currently no treatment or cure. The damage caused by MND is progressive so it gets worse over time. On average one person dies every four days from MND in Ireland and the majority of people die within 1,000 days of being diagnosed. The IMNDA cannot slow the progression of MND or change the outcome but they can alleviate the feelings of isolation and improve quality of life. They strive to ensure that each individual receives the care and support they require enabling them to live as active independent citizens in their own homes for as long as possible.    The IMNDA are funded entirely through fundraising and donations.
