What is MND?
Motor Neurone Disease (MND) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that attacks the upper and lower motor neurones.
Degeneration of the motor neurones leads to weakness and wasting of muscles, causing increasing loss of mobility in the limbs, and difficulties with speech, swallowing and breathing.
The effects of MND can vary enormously from person to person, from presenting symptoms, the rate and pattern of the disease progression to the length of survival time after diagnosis.
About the MND Association
The Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Association is the only national organisation in England, Wales and Northern Ireland dedicated to the support of people with MND and those who care for them.
The MND Association is a charity working to help people with MND secure the care and support they need, while promoting research into causes, treatments and a cure.
The Northern Ireland branch of the MND Association was formed in the Belfast area in 1981 and in 1986 the first Regional Care Advisor was appointed.
In 2003 a Regional Care Centre was setup in the Royal Victoria Hospital, Belfast.
