Help Davey now, help others in the future

Motor neurone disease (MND) is the name given to a group of diseases in which the nerve cells (neurones) controlling the muscles that enable us to move, speak, breathe and swallow undergo degeneration and die.

Our friend David, was diagnosed with this just one year ago. It’s heart breaking to witness first hand the rapid progression of MND. For example, David can no longer eat solid food, he’s now fed through a feeding tube. And that’s just one of the muscles David can no longer use, one that we all take for granted.

As this disease progresses, there are many aides available to make the final stages of life as comfortable as possible, but are not readily available unless you have the finance to purchase them.

The MND Foundation provide help where they can, but they can’t cater for all.

The money we raise here will be used to purchase equipment to make David’s time with us, as comfortable as possible. When the time comes, we will pass this equipment on to the MND Foundation to assist others that have this debilitating disease.

We thank you for your support.
