Sometimes Silence Speaks Volumes
Our family has been sadly affected by motor neurone disease. More than 80% of people living with MND will experience some form of speech difficulty during their illness – some will lose their voice completely.
Unfortunately our dad/grandad/uncle Jim has experienced this difficulty. Despite this we can still see his fun and loving personality shine through. Despite this we have never communicated love so much, small gestures, the wink, the smile and everything in between.
Everyone that knows us, knows that we are a talkative family including Jim. Nothing stops the fun. But in solidarity with Jim we are going to stay silent for a full 24 hours. Anyone that knows us, knows that this is extremely difficult.
By donating today – not only are you helping to fund the motor neurone association 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 disease all across Ireland.
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 our hearts.
Please support my fundraising efforts and help me ensure that every person living with MND can be heard.
Thank you.
