When Mandy was diagnosed with MND she decided she would do everything possible to continue to live her life and fulfil her ambitions. She was determined to fight MND and not let it affect her family and friends. Following her diagnosis Mandy found the MND association to be very positive and beneficial to her. The magazine gave her comfort and awareness and helped her to deal with the advancing stages. This also inspired her to support the cause frequently and encourage others to donate and raise money and awareness of MND. We have started this tribute in hope that family and friends will continue to support the MND association and help them with their research.
