Weekend Without Words
Your silence will show those with MND they are not alone
You can make a difference today by signing up and using free text to speech apps for an entire weekend and raising vital funds for Queenslanders with MND.
When MND affects speech, conversations are likely to take longer and feel tiring. Participating in this campaign gives a little insight into what 9 out of 10 people with MND face as their speech starts to decline.
It's free to sign up and you can choose when to do your 48 hour challenge, plus win some great prizes!
Rally up your school friends, sporting clubs, colleagues and friends to register with you as a team and maximise your impact.
Don't have 48 hours? Register for our 24 hour challenge, Workday Without Words!
MND Fast Facts:
- More than 80% of people with MND experience slurred, unclear, quiet or complete loss of speech
- Everyday in Australia, 2 people are diagnosed with MND, and 2 people die from MND
- The average life expectancy for MND is 27 months
- There is no cure or effective treatment for MND
