MND NSW would like to let our MND Community know that we will be closing for the Christmas break from 24th December 2020 and will reopen on Monday 4th January 2021. During this time our phones and emails will not be monitored.

For millions of people around the world whose speech may be difficult for others to understand, communication can sometimes be very challenging. Using voice-activated technologies e.g. Siri, Google Home and Alexa, can also be frustrating if they misidentify your words. Project Euphonia is a Google Research initiative that is aiming to help support people with speech difficulties to be better understood. 

This year has already been a very challenging one with bushfires and the onging impact of the coronavirus, and as we are now coming into increasingly hotter and drier days, we thought it would be a good time to remind our community of some bushfire safety tips.

One day, motor neurone disease will take everything from Sharon. Until then, will you help her make the most of life?

You may have received our Christmas appeal in the mail recently sharing the story of Sharon and her family but we really wanted to share Sharon’s story with you again as it’s one that really hits home about the effects of MND—but it’s also one of hope as we see the amazing strength so many in our community show every day, just like Sharon and her family demonstrate.
