Today is Global MND Awareness Day. This year we're taking the opportunity to thank everyone affected by MND who has shared their story with us. You are defining the narrative of this disease.

We spent a productive afternoon at the Scottish Parliament a few weeks ago discussing motor neuron disease research and the research we fund, as well as encouraging MSPs to sign up for Doddie Aid 2025 🤝 doddieaid.com/

💙 TWO YEARS AGO TODAY 💛 From the moment DODDIE WEIR revealed his devastating motor neuron disease diagnosis on #MND Awareness Day 2017, to the last moment we saw him at #Murrayfield, in all his vulnerability, Doddie never stopped on his mission for 'A WORLD FREE OF #MND'... 😢

We're so grateful to @LukeTheNuke180 for this amazing gesture helping us raise awareness of MND. Luke, a @WarringtonRLFC fan, has offered his support after seeing the work of the MND Association and bravery of our patron, @Rob7Burrow, following his #MND diagnosis. 🎯 #TeamNuke

Brilliant to have Kirsty Gallacher on board as an official My Name'5 Doddie ambassador 🤝 Kirsty has been a great supporter of the Foundation, most recently taking part in @KennyLogan's epic Rugby World Cup Challenge, walking and cycling 700 miles from Edinburgh to Paris 💪

A person's lifetime risk of developing motor neurone disease is up to 1 in 300. It has no cure. Start 2024 right by helping the MND Association raise awareness of MND. Share the facts. 💙 mndassoc.org/takeovermnd #TakeOverMND

I’VE been trying to raise AWARENESS of #MND for TEN YEARS on social media, raising funds with a skydive, mountain climb, the #GNR and a bungee. FINALLY, thanks to the heroic efforts of KEVIN SINFIELD, the nation is waking up to the horror of this disease! Bless you ‘OUR KEVIN’.
