An update: Unfortunately I am not able to complete the trek due to health reasons, but my wonderful step son, Isaac Hanson (aged 12) has stepped up to the challenge and is taking my spot. The money that has already been donated to me will be transferred across to Isaac's fundraising. Please support this amazing young man, who is going to complete a once in a life-time experience. Isaac knows about the impact that Motor Neuron Disease has and is keen to make a difference. Thanks to the MND and Me team, and his dad, Daniel for supporting him in achieving this goal. Please donate and support Isaac in his adventure.

Isaac is doing this trek to become part of the solution to ensure no-one has to face Motor Neuron Disease alone.

I know that the MND and Me Foundation does great work supporting both people with MND and their families while also funding critical research.

This is our chance to help them make a positive difference is the lives of people impacted by MND.

No donation is too small and any support you can provide is greatly appreciated.

What is Motor Neuron Disease?

You have nerves in your brain and spinal cord that control how your muscles work. These are called motor neurons. MND is a disease that affects the motor neurons. With MND, motor neurons gradually stop telling your muscles how to move. When muscles no longer move, they become weak, which can also lead to stiffness and loss of muscle mass (wasting). MND is a life-shortening illness that can affect how you walk, talk, eat, drink and breathe. This is usually different for each individual. You may not get all of the symptoms and there is no set order in which they happen. The disease will progress, which means symptoms will get worse over time. For some people this can be rapid, for others it is slower. There is currently no cure for MND.
