Every year the International Alliance of ALS/MND Associations celebrates 21 June as the global day of recognition of ALS/MND – a disease that affects people in every country of the globe. Motor neurone disease (MND) is a global problem. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, ethnicity or demographic.
It is estimated that in Australia, at any one time, around 2,100 people are living with MND. Every day two people are diagnosed with MND in Australia and two people die from the disease.
Globally, over 400,000 people are currently living with MND. MND affects people from every country and ethnicity in the world.
Get involved this June by:
- Volunteering with the foundation
- Raising awareness on social media
- Informing family and friends
