About MND:
- it attacks nerves that control movement so muscles no longer work. It can leave people locked in a failing body, unable to move, talk and eventually breathe.
- It kills a third of people within a year and more than half within two years of diagnosis.
- In the UK alone, six people are diagnosed every day and it affects up to 5,000 adults in the UK at any one time.
- It kills six people per day in the UK
- There is no cure
