Welcome to MNDA Wirral Group

Welcome to our MNDA Wirral Group blog. We are a group of volunteers who have created this blog to keep you up to date with the latest news, events and stories important to those affected by MND.

What is MND?

Motor Neurone Disease is a group of diseases that cause the nerves in your brain and spine to gradually stop working. Messages from the nerves eventually stop reaching the muscles, resulting in them weakening, stiffening and wasting. Around 5000 people in the UK have MND at any one time and each individual experiences the disease in a different way. MND is a life-shortening disease and currently there is no cure.

 Who are MNDA Wirral Group?

We are a charity group devoted to supporting those living with or affected by Motor Neurone Disease by improving care, research and campaigning. Our group is run by a group of local volunteers who support those affected by MND through social events, raising awareness to others and campaigning for change.

Our new blog gives us the opportunity to share our stories and promote awareness for MND on a digital scale. We will also act as an information hub for any questions you may have about the disease and where to get support. Regular updates from our blog and social media will keep you up to date on everything that is happening with MNDA Wirral Group.

What do we aim to achieve?

We want a world free from MND. We are improving care and support for people with MND, their families and carers.

We are funding and promoting research that will give us a new understanding and treatments that will bring us closer to finding a cure.

We are campaigning and raising awareness so the needs of people with MND and everyone who cares for them are recognised and addressed by wider society.
