The importance of raising funds for the Motor Neurone Disease Association on MND Awareness Day
The death of England and Leeds Rhinos rugby player earlier this year, Rob Burrow, highlighted the impact motor neurone disease (MND) can have on those living with the condition which affects the brain and nerves, resulting in the body becoming weaker and weaker over time. Rob was diagnosed with MND in 2019 and was later awarded an MBE in 2021 for the campaign work he did calling for more research into the condition and improved care for those living with it.
