MND Australia

Congratulations to Neale Daniher on this well deserved recognition -- Victorian Australian of the Year!

“I feel like I still have a job to do and have something to contribute. I want to advocate for those who are most vulnerable and overlooked in society. I want to make a tiny bit of difference while I still can.” https://lnkd.in/gEMpkUFv

🧠 Around half of people with motor neurone disease will experience some changes in thinking, behaviour or cognition. For many, these changes are mild, but up to 15% of people with MND will also receive a diagnosis of a form of dementia: MND/FTD.

We are saddened to hear that Fiona McDonald has died from motor neurone disease. Following her diagnosis, Fiona made an enormous contribution to raising awareness of MND and funds for research. Her Australian Story documentary last year was truly inspiring and can be streamed through ABC iview. Our thoughts are with her family and friends. https://lnkd.in/g-3YYn38
