compared to when we first started working with i when we first started working with mnd on knowing mnded funding we are - think could be made? so, this- targeted funding we are requesting and asking the government to bring to mnd research well, i think, bring forward by decades the day when we can sit here and say we live in a world free of motor neurone disease, so nobody else in cris' only has to die because of it. that is what is on the table here. we have put together a detailed scientific plan which we have submitted to the government for consideration in the spending review. and this petition and letter being delivered today is to help focus the government around that plan, that detailed scientific plan we have put in place. in a nutshell, what we're asking to do in that 50 page document we have already submitted, is to bring together the worlds leading scientists in the uk, clinicians, patients, the charity and industry, to pull forward the drugs that we know are out there, attacking the targets in the motor nerves to discover what works quickly and make a difference for people.

what this will mean to mnd sufferers and great hope — we are now on the brink of a meaningful treatmenter doddie weir, should have been here, too, but he had to abandon his journey down after being pinged for being in contact with someone with covid. it is notjust the government they have been lobbying. there were meetings with prominent politicians, including the speaker of the house of commons, lindsay hoyle. thanks for what you do. you are getting the profile there and that is what really, really matters. and if anyone is going to fight, you are the fighter. you have been a champion all your life. keep it coming. the motor neurone disease association hopes that if the government finds £50 million in the budget this autumn, they can double it to 100 million with donations from charities and business. we need to fund motor neurone disease research all the way from understanding what causes it right at the very beginning, all the way through to developing new drugs and then testing those in patients. so those three components, that is called the translational pipeline, that whole pipeli
