I took part in the ‘Walk whilst you can’ with my father and family including my 1 year old daughter on Saturday the 14th of September for the Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association (IMNDA). This is a cause that lies close to my heart after my father, a fit and active Professor of Veterinary medicine was given the devastating diagnosis of Motor Neurone Disease last December. There is no cure for MND and the only drug available, Rilutek, was licenced 25 years ago. It would be fair to say this debilitating disease is hugely underfunded. The Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association (IMNDA) is a one of kind organisation, which provides 4 MND specialised community nurses across Ireland. They work closely with Professor Orla Hardiman, who heads up the National MND clinic and research team. They also provide equipment and counselling for patients and their families.
This walk was started by the late Father Tony Coote who sadly died recently at the age of 55 just over a year after diagnosis. His incredible efforts raised €600,000 and a 4th community nurse was recruited thanks to Father Tony.
This is an amazing cause run by an incredible team of people, so please dig deep and give generously.

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
