What is Motor Neurone Disease (MND)?

Motor neurone disease (MND) is a neurodegenerative disorder that involves the death of motor neurones in the brain. Motor neurones control muscle movement in our body so those with MND experience symptoms related to muscle weakness such as difficultly speaking, eating, and moving. The disease eventually leads to paralysis and death, most commonly within five years of disease onset, though some anomalies exist (like Stephen Hawking, who lived with the disease for over 50 years).
