During 2012 the Motor Neurone Disease Association of NSW (MND NSW) is running a series of 4.5 hour face-to-face training sessions across metropolitan and regional NSW.
Hello my name is Ann Ridd. I am the mother of 33 year old Nathan Ridd aka "The Riddla". Last year the family was dealt a crushing blow when Nathan was diagnosed with ALS Motor Neurone Disease. Nathan was always an active sportsperson having played rugby league from age five to seventeen for St Clair Comets, when he changed codes to Rugby Union and played 1st Grade for Penrith Emus for six years and then two years in Newcastle Upon Tyne in the UK. Upon his return home he played for the Wollongong Vikings and represented Illawarra Rugby.
As part of MND Week each year MND Australia and the state associations undertake a national Call to Action to address issues that impact on people living with MND in Australia. Last year we asked the MND community to join the campaign for a National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). This year we are asking you to help make it real. We want you to tell our parliament "now is the time to make the NDIS real"!
