MND is a fatal, rapidly progressing neurological disease that affects the brain and spinal cord, impairing people's ability to walk, talk, eat, drink and breathe. Around 5,000 people are living with the condition in the UK at any one time. The MND Association is focused on improving access to care, research and campaigning for those people living with or affected by MND. Eddie Redmayne told how his eyes were opened to the devastation caused by MND while he was researching and filming The Theory of Everything. 'I was struck by the brutality of MND, and how it robs so many people of a future with their families in the cruellest of ways,' he said. 'Every day in the UK, six people are diagnosed with MND and six people die from it. As the biggest charitable funder of MND research in the UK, the MND Association is working tirelessly to change this, investing in research to take us closer to effective treatments and a cure. 'This exciting partnership with Omaze will further the MND Association's vital work while shining a spotlight on MND, and the needs of those affected by it.' 1 .
