I have MND or know someone who does
I want to support people with MND
Each day in Australia two people die from MND and another two people are diagnosed.
Nationally, there are over 2,000 people living with MND, with about 300 of those in Queensland.
A cure for MND is yet to be found.
There is no effective treatment for MND and it can strike anyone at any time.
The average life expectancy of a person diagnosed with MND is 2.5 years.
Our Mission
To Care and to Cure
The MND and Me Foundation was established by Scott Sullivan, a husband and father of two children, who was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) in 2010 at the age of 38. Scott sadly passed away in April 2014.
Scott saw a need to assist people living with MND, and their families, to maintain their independence and quality of life as long as possible.
To Care
While we work towards finding a cure, we fill the gaps to ensure every Queenslander living with MND gets what they need, when they need it and at no cost. We help people with MND and their families by offering support services, programs and equipment, as well as financial grants for situations outside of regular funding schemes.
To Cure
A driving force for the Foundation is to provide funding to understand the causes, find effective treatments and discover cures for MND.
We don’t receive any Government funding and rely on the support of corporate partners and the community to continue our investment into research.
