The Voice for MND campaign took place in June this year and we launched it ahead of MND Global Day, which takes place on the 21st June each year.
Alongside the campaign this year, we focused on how a deterioration in voice for people with MND can affect their confidence and social interactions, and also how more awareness among the general public can lead to wider recognition of a deterioration in voice as a symptom of MND.
We put together a survey to gain an insight into what people with MND and their families thoughts and experiences were on Voice Deterioration for people living with MND. We received a very high response rate, and the graphs shown here below illustrate the results.
At the Global Awareness Event in Saleforce Offices on the 20th June, Fiona Thornton, Head of Advocacy and Communications delivered a presentation on the findings. This survey helped to inform us for our Voice for MND campaign this year and we would like to express our sincere thanks to all who contributed to it.
