Since last year’s Truckfest, more than 2,000 people will have been told they have MND, a neurological disease which damages nerves and the messages they send to muscles in the body. Within months, a person with MND may lose their voice, be left unable to eat or even move.

There is no cure – yet.

With the generosity of Truckfest, and visitors to the nine action-packed events which are planned across the UK this summer, we’re on the road to a world free from MND.

Money raised from the events will help drive forward important progress in MND research and the support the Association offers to people with MND, their families and carers. By starting a conversation about MND we can make sure no one has to face MND on their own.

The MND Association’s Alistair Laing said: “We are incredibly grateful to the team at Truckfest for choosing to support the MND Association for the second year – it’s a partnership which really matters to our community.

“Every pound we raise and every conversation we have makes a difference to people affected by this devastating disease.”
