We held our usual second Thursday meeting in Nottingham yesterday and the turnout exceeded 50 people, 21 with MND including 2 new recently diagnosed persons. I’m sure it is not appropriate to say that this was a record for the number of people living with the disease attending our meeting but it is testament to the fact we are doing something special.
We had an introduction to the incoming chair of Nottingham City Council who has chosen MNDA Nottingham as his charity for fundraising and awareness events during his year of office.
The care team at Nottingham QMC hospital gave a presentation on advanced care planning which evoked lots of discussion and everyone was pointed towards the information on the MNDA website.
We finished the last half hour with our usual “mix and mingle” but it proved difficult to move around with so many wheelchairs and walkers. I am so proud and privileged to be part of the team who give so much time and effort to make living with MND more bearable.
