No single organisation can tackle MND alone. That's why we joined forces with @lifearc1, @mndassoc, @MNDScotland, @The_MRC & @NIHRresearch to fund the MND Collaborative Partnership (MCP) Read more about the impact of the MCP & what's been achieved so far👉myname5doddie.co.uk/news-and…

Researchers went the Extra Mile in York earlier this week! It was fantastic to see Professor Johnathan Cooper-Knock, the first Rob Burrow Professor, and Professor Sean Sweeney, chair of our Biomedical Research Advisory Panel, lace up for day 2’s Extra Mile with Sir Kev and the team. 🧡 Thank you to Alex Holland from University of York for the great action shot! #7IN7 #7in7grandfinale #York
