We are making the 10th anniversary of the ICE Bucket Challenge and we are hoping to raise funds to support those living with MND. The Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association (IMNDA) is the only organisation of its kind in this country. It was set up in May 1985 to provide care and support to people with Motor Neurone Disease, their carers, families, and friends. There are currently over 450 people living with MND in Ireland. MND is often referred to as the 1,000 day disease as most people die within 1,000 days of being diagnosed. Our key services include: o Home visiting by our six MND Nurse Specialists o Financial assistance towards home care o Providing specialist medical equipment free of charge to our clients o Assistance towards counselling, travel to and from medical appointments, recharge grant and voice banking grant (these new additional services are a result of Charlie Bird Development fund) o Supporting research into the causes and treatments of MND o Freefone Information support line for clients and families The Association relies heavily on fundraising activities from our members and supporters. We need to raise over 85% of our overall income. It costs approx. 2.4 million to run the Association each year.
