Although it takes a bit more organising, it is possible to find suitable accommodation and travel if you have MND. Here are some places to start.

Are you caring for someone with MND in NSW? Would you like to be part of a telephone support group that focuses upon building your strengths as a carer? Through MND NSW’s continued partnership with Carers NSW, their National Counselling program offers MND carers the Carer Well Being Talk-Link Program. The next program is commencing Tuesday 12 February 2019 and this six week telephone support group is free and suitable for anyone who is caring role. Find out more here.

A big thank you to the Newcastle Royals who recently held a trivia night to raise money for MND NSW as well as one of their founding members recently diagnosed with motor neurone disease. The event received fantastic support with around 230 people in attendance. A donation of $2,805 was made to MND NSW from the night. A special thank you to Rob Akers who coordinated the event, and to everyone who provided their support.

Thank you to all our wonderful supporters who contributed to our 2018 Christmas Appeal. The appeal raised over $40,000 and will assist us to provide the best possible care and support for people living with motor neurone disease. "Together we Can".
