As the clocks go back, take an hour to think ahead. 🕒 We sat down with MND Connect Advisor Ellie to discuss preparing for winter with MND. From making sure prescriptions are up to date to planning for seasonal challenges, a little preparation now could help make the months ahead easier to manage. 🧡

Before MND stripped away the things she loved, Jaki loved to sing. 🎶 Imagine losing the ability to do something that brings you joy. What's one thing you'd hate to no longer be able to do? #WorldSingingDay

Go Oscar go! 🧡👏 After being inspired by reading ‘Try’, the children's book written by Sir Kev, 7 year old Oscar set himself a challenge to raise money for MND: walking every day for 7 days! And that’s just the beginning - he plans to walk 77 miles before Christmas to continue to raise vital funds. We’re so proud to have you on the team Oscar, thank you for everything you are doing. 🧡 To donate to Oscar incredible challenge, click here. 🔗 fundraising.mndassociation.o…
