Support Our Effort to Aid More People with MND Today
As we approach 2026, a new year brings the opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of individuals affected by motor neurone disease (MND). Each year, over 2,000 people in the UK receive this devastating diagnosis. MND is a progressive, terminal neurological condition that severely impacts the ability to speak, eat, and breathe.
The MND Association is urging community members to join this essential cause by participating in various fundraising events designed for all ages and abilities. This January, the MND Association emphasizes the critical need for support for those living with MND and their families as effective treatments remain elusive.

In 2026, participants can choose from several engaging events:

Additionally, individuals can take the initiative to create and organize their own events. Participating in these activities not only raises funds but also provides essential support and information for those impacted by MND.

According to Jodie Nash from the MND Association, January will see 186 new diagnoses of MND. For these individuals, uncertainty lies ahead, making access to information and support crucial.
