My Dad

My Dad was told he had MND in January 2020, by July 2020 we had lost him - Tracey Horn.

My Wife & Work Colleague

My Wife died from MND and also a former work colleague who left a young family. The MND Association provided advice and help throughout my wife's illness. I hope this will help to find a cure, if not, help others with the illness and provide hope - Trevor.

One day we will be free of this terrible disease

Martin Gillies

When renewing my will, I realised the need to avoid inheritance tax

In Memory of My Mum

I really hope and pray that a time will come when those words change to 'yes we can cure and treat MND'

We hope more MND research can help detect rarer forms

David

For my Dad

My friend

We need a cure

My Husband

My Husband passed away in April and I want no one to go through what he went through, therefore any donations that can help fight this disease are worthwhile - M Curran

My Husband

My husband and dearest friend of over 40 years first showed symptoms in March 2021. He deteriorated rapidly losing speech, mobility and swallowing. He was finally diagnosed in January 2022. He died March 2022. Throughout the MND Association supported us. Thank you

Gillian Ball

We need to find a cure for this terrible disease.

Janet Denny

My estate is divided equally among my family in my Will. My husband died of MND and my elder son of a brain tumour. They are still part of my family so their shares will go to MND Association and the Brain Tumour Charity

Polly Allen

I do my best to support the MND Association

Gaynor & Philip Davies

We've pledged to help find a cure

Maureen Robinson

My late husband Robert died from MND in July 2014 after being diagnosed in November 2012. I support the work of MND and all those working to find a cure for this terrible disease. I pray each day that this will happen in the near future.

Christopher Brown

This year I have witnessed for myself from two acquaintances with MND how devastating illness this is. It places intolerable pressures on both patient and family members. It is life-changing, life-curtailing and at the moment unrelenting. If I can make just a small contribution towards its extinction then a part of my estate will have been well-used.

Pam Eldridge

The help we received will never be forgotten

Gordon Tompkins

A cure is needed - I hope this helps

Andrew Watkins

David died of MND in 2016, aged 31. He was an athlete. It is the most devastating disease and we were greatly helped by the MNDA. We hope so much that a treatment and a cure will be found soon.

Cath Muir

To give hope to other people with MND and to find a cure so they don't go through what I am.

Paul Kimber

This is for Catherine my girlfriend of 30 years, who passed away in August 2019. She died of MND and MNDA who have been very supportive to me. I want to tell the world about MND.

Anthony Pietka

Dedicated to my father

Delia Born

When I retired from social work I loked for ways to remain involved in helping others. MNDA was looking for volunteers and I find the work rewarding.

Michele Marshall

Supporting MNDA in our Wills is something we were pleased to do

Sheena Atkinson

My support for those with MND started many year's ago when I saw the result of the disease on a lovely, caring, vivacious aunt, mother of two teenage girls. On my last visit to her, before she died, she was unable to move and could only communicate by being shown words on a board which she acknowledged by blinking. It was heartbreaking. My aunt's grandson suffered from another genetic nerve/brain related disease, ALD & died aged around 7 years old. It was then that I wanted to remember them with a gift in my Will to support your work and research.

Bev Smith

My Husband Christopher has MND and we both feel not enough money is given to support the cause. My granddaughter aged 7 and her Mum raised over £1,000 by running 5k & 10k in Jan/Feb

Tim Proudman

I was diagnosed with MND nearly 3 years ago. I'm luckier than some as on-set is slow, but it is sadly changing my life. If I can help others overcome MND and live longer fulfilling lives, then I'm very happy to help support The MND Association with my pledge - Tim Proudman

Sue Cutler

In memory of my husband

Patricia Fenney

My Husband Glyn was diagnosed with MND in 2013 and sadly passed away in 2016 aged 57. The sooner we can find a cure for MND the better. My pledge is just a small amount, Glyn always wanted me to donate something to help research.

Sue Batten

I hope this will help in the fight to find a cure

I have left a gift in my Will in-memory of my darling husband

He sadly passed away from this cruel disease in 2018. We were both very grateful to the Association for all of the help we received during the six years he faught the disease and I hope the funds will go towards research and also help others suffering from the disease.

Mrs S Jackson

My Late husband passed away with motor neurone disease and I trained as an Association Visitor so I feel strongly to do all I can to help.

David & Liz

In memory of our brother-in-law

Alan Tabbush

My brother-in-law died from MND in 1995 and I have supported the MNDA every since

John Jefkins

My wife lived with MND for 5 years. During that time she received a lot of help from our local branch of MNDA and from the MNDA funded team at John Radcliffe. Hence my decision to leave a legacy.

Carolyn Wood

No cure has been found

I lost my younger sister to MND

A cruel, evil disease. A cure has to be found soon to prevent the devastation it brings with it

Margaret Thurgood

My husband died from MND in 2013. We had 3 years of great help from the Association & NHS

My brother and I both have MND

Linda Piper

Ian & Beverley Lev

We have benefited from support from the MND Association

I was diagnosed with MND 3 years ago

I am now in a wheelchair. Anything that will help find out more about this disease must be done

Geoff Green

The reason that I have decided to leave a gift to MNDA is because a very good friend of mine recently died from MND after a very short time of being diagnosed (about a year) it was awful seeing him go down hill so rapidly and I feel very strongly that mnda needs lots more funds in order to do scientific research with the hope of finding some sort of cure or at least, a drug that will slow it down dramatically especially for the vigorous strain that Geoff was unfortunate enough to get.

My partner & nephew

I lost my partner of 42years to MND age 62. Also my nephew age 64 to MND

in loving memory of my dear husband

I've pledged a gift in my Will in loving memory of my dear husband, who died 8 years ago from this horrid disease, hoping it will help to find a cure

In loving memory
