Carer resilience? Seriously? How much more resilient can #UnpaidCarers get? We’ve been left to get on with it for a whole year. Quietly just getting on with our caring roles with next to no support, nor thought for a whole year. This is gaslighting.

Good to see people enjoying the #ITV doc about @mndassoc Royal Patron #PrincessAnne 👑 HRH has been our Patron since 2008 - even longer for our friends at @MNDScotland - and in her 10th year alone she attended 7 events for us! #commitment

Stop press from my last post 😀 just heard from @SYMNDA Chairman where the branch Committee met today. I have been offered a place on the Branch Management Committee today which I immediately accepted. First Branch Committee meeting next Wednesday. Cure and Care people. Good news

In these difficult times, we can’t hold each other’s hands, but we can be there for each other. Offer a hand of support and more to someone special this #GlobalMNDAwarenessDay on June 21. Who will you extend a hand to? Visit 👋 mndassociation.org/handof! #HandOf #CharityTuesday
Really enjoying retirement after 18 years of paid work @mndassoc . However it doesn’t stop there - I have become a Member of the MND Association and am loving building my links and hopefully soon volunteering experience with the @SYMNDA branch. Until a cure, there is care

The MND Association is saddened to hear today’s news that Ian Pratt has died. Ian was a tireless MND awareness raiser and fundraiser, raising thousands, for his own @IanPrattMNDF and the MND Association. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

It looks like #COVIDー19 can affect the brain as well as the lungs. For example, 40% of people lose their sense of smell, some have seizures, and headache is common. Sign up to help us understand why. Takes just 20 - 30 minutes every two weeks rampstudy.co.uk/ @rampstudy

We are calling on the Government to define people with motor neurone disease as being extremely vulnerable as a matter of urgency. For our latest advice on covid-19 for those with MND, please visit our website > mndassociation.org/coronavir…. [3/3] #MND #Coronavirus #COVID19

The MND Association is extremely concerned to see that people with MND have not been included in the Government’s list of extremely vulnerable persons in their guidance on shielding and protecting vulnerable person’s from Covid-19. [1/3] #MND #Coronavirus #COVID19

Dr Vicki Flood: Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Exercises were the focus of her analysis and this slide explains why that was chosen.

“Palliative care is not just about managing physical symptoms, a holistic approach is needed involving family, friends, neighbours and wider community services - it’s about adding life to days not just days to life” Luc Deliens (Belgium) #alsmndsymp @IMNDA
What a great idea. @mndassoc would like people to donate their #walk2dfeet T-shirts to make a quilt. This will be raffled to support the #als fellows program. Hand shirts into rego desk if keen to contribute #ALSSymp #fundraising 🙌🙌🙌 – at Perth, Western Australia

Melinda Kavanaugh is explaining that children as young as 6 care caregivers for family members with ALSMND. These children receive very little support and are often socially isolated from their peers. #alsmndsymp and almost 60% receive no training for the care they provide.
