In 2021 the PGA NEC kindly granted my request for the MND Association to be that year's conference charity after the loss of my wife to Motor Neurone Disease. At Conference, delegates raised £5000 for the MND Association, then a record amount raised for any charity at PGA Conference.
Motor Neurone Disease is a vile affliction that gradually robs the sufferer of all their independence and dignity, locking both invalid and carer into a death spiral. This book charts one couple's journey and its brutal physical and emotional impact. Despite being an always fatal condition, MND enjoys only Cinderella status in respect of both research funding and charitable giving.
Hard copies of this book can be ordered your local bookseller, price £7.99. or from online retailers. Electronic copies, which should be available shortly, retail at £4.99. The book is short at 81pages, but you will be supporting a charity that needs every penny to help fund research that will someday find an effective treatment for this dreadful disease. Please feel free to review the book and spread the word through your friendship networks. Don't lend it, tell people to buy their own and support the MND Association. Please feel free to post reviews on Amazon.
