Motor Neurone Disease Association
The Motor Neurone Disease Association (MND Association) is a British charity, operating in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, established in 1979 by a group of volunteers to coordinate care, support, and research for people affected by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, which is a form of motor neuron disease (MND) (and also as Charcot disease or, in the United States, Lou Gehrig's disease).
The Association's Chief Executive is Sally Light. Its President is neuroscientist Colin Blakemore. The Patrons of the Association are HRH The Princess Royal, neurologist and four-minute mile record breaker Roger Bannister, entrepreneur and philanthropist Joel Cadbury, palliative medicine consultant Baroness Finlay, neuroscientist, broadcaster and author Baroness Greenfield, world-renowned cosmologist Stephen Hawking (who is living with MND), former Chief Inspector of Schools Sir Chris Woodhead, challenger and entrepreneur Richard Noble OBE, Jamie Niven (Senior Vice President at Sotheby's art dealers in New York and younger son of actor David Niven, who died from MND), former English cricketer and current official Chris Broad, and American businessman James Sherwood.〔()〕
The Association is the only national charity in England, Wales and Northern Ireland that funds and promotes global research into the disease and provides support for people affected by Motor Neurone Disease. It is a membership organisation with nearly 8,000 members forming a national and local network that provides information and support alongside fighting for improved services. It has over 3,000 active volunteers in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and 140-plus paid staff, who are dedicated to improving the lives of people affected by MND.
