Motor-on for Motor Neurone Disease

$45,251 donated
Given by 267 generous donors in around 9 months

Fundraising for UC Rose Centre for Stroke Recovery and Research

Canterbury

We are fundraising for the development of an innovative medical device to help patients like our dad continue to swallow safely. Swallowing disorders can affect patients with Motor Neurone Disease (MND), stroke and cancer. Imagine not being able to swallow safely? You couldn’t enjoy your favourite meal or savour your favourite beverage.

Your donation will enable the University of Canterbury Rose Centre to develop a device that will allow patients to do intensive computer based treatment at home, while being monitored remotely by their clinician. This will be a life-changer for so many patients especially those who struggle to travel to the clinic.

Thank you for joining us in the “drive” to help people - like Dad - continue to swallow safely.
