The best work is when you really feel you’re making a difference. So as someone who, like far too many… Has lost family to the horrors of motor neurone disease. I could not be more proud to spend my week… Teaching MND Association scientists how to communicate their critical work.

NICE has made the decision to treat tofersen, a specialised genetic therapy for a small subset of people with #ALS #MND developed in the UK, as a general therapy, condemning it to fail their assessment. We must change that decision. Sign the petition: ecampaigns.mndassociation.org/page/151379/pe…
