“We don’t know what’s coming, but we’ll face it together.” 🧡
Despite the emotional and financial strain of Anna’s MND diagnosis, Martyn’s family stays positive, using laughter to bring light.

Back in July we hosted EnCouRage - our two-day UK event for early career researchers (ECRs) who have chosen MND as their focus of investigation.
It was all about connection, collaboration and sparking important conversations between researchers and the MND community. 🧡

Massive well done to @mbarrow1 and @anbar1 and the @TraffordGolf team, enjoyed spending a little time with everyone on Saturday and our @MNDManchester were there to support.
Still time to donate, hit a few balls to chip in (badly) but many others did a grand job to reach 5,000.
🎉 5,000 golf balls hit & over £3,000 raised in the #MNDDriveathon for #MND and Anna’s story!
👏 A huge thank you to everyone who took part, donated & showed up to support. There's still time to donate: justgiving.com/crowdfunding/…

Following #GlobalMNDAwarenessDay yesterday, we hit the streets to ask the public what they know about motor neurone disease.
The results might surprise you.

As we approach #globalmndawarenessday tomorrow, I just wanted to share a few thoughts
True Anna style, I tried to record myself but as MND takes over I didn’t think involuntary smiling and laughing was appropriate
Please take some time tomorrow to think of the #mndcommunity
