Sometimes Silence Speaks Volumes

More than 80% of people living with MND will experience some form of speech difficulty during their illness – some will lose their voice completely.

I’m staying quiet because sometimes silence speaks volumes.

Please give a Silence donation and help me reach my fundraising target in support of people living with MND. Or maybe you'd like to register too and take on your own silence? 

By donating today – not only are you helping to fund our nursing service, extra home care hours and critical equipment that's needed to keep people at home - you are also giving a voice to people with MND.

Vital equipment that the IMNDA provides includes communication aids like iPads with Predictable App so people with affected speech can still have conversations with their loved ones.

There are more than 450 people affected by this cruel and debilitating disease all across Ireland; will you help me to give them a voice?

The Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association (IMNDA) is the only organisation in this country supporting these families and it’s a charity that’s very close to my heart. 

Please support my fundraising efforts and help me ensure that every person living with MND can be heard.

Thank you.

We will give our dad the gift of silence for one hour on Father’s Day this year, while doing some fundraising in memory of Grandad Jimmy- who was a man of few words but sadly lost his voice completely in the fight of MND and died 8/12/23. Remembered fondly everyday ❤️
