Such a good cause Janet. I know it is still relatively new, but has there been any discoveries as to a possible cure/prevention or linkage to a cause? It probably take s a lot of time and money to get that far.

Hi Jim !
Researchers in America have recently discovered a common cause of all forms of MND- problems with the recycling system in motor neurones appear to be integral to the degeneration found in MND- to put it simply they think it`s down to how a protein is re-cycled in the body -imagine putting your rubbish out to be recycled and the its failed to be collected-its ok to start with-you can walk round it but week after week the rubbish builds up until you can no longer move ! if you click on the red link at the top of the page -it will take you to the MNDA web page they explain it far better than me -its all early days yet Jim x
