MND NSW board member Anita Richter writes: My commitment to the MND community began in 1997. Through my work as a speech pathologist in both rehabilitation and palliative care settings I treated several people living with MND. I became concerned about the lack of real support services available as they and their loved ones strove to manage the challenges of this disease.
With a desire to make a difference I took the new position of Care Development Officer for MND NSW with the initial task of conducting a ‘Needs Assessment’ for People with MND.
