What is Motor Neurone Disease (MND)? MND is a progressive neurological condition that affects the nerves (motor neurones) responsible for controlling muscles. This can lead to muscle weakness, mobility challenges, and difficulty with speaking, swallowing, or breathing. While there is currently no cure for MND, personalised care and support can significantly improve quality of life.
