What is MND?

Motor Neurone Disease stops the nerve cells that control the body’s movement from sending messages to muscles.

Motor Neurone Disease Association NZ

The Motor Neurone Disease Association of New Zealand (MNDA), is a not for profit organisation with the purpose of supporting people with Motor Neurone Disease and their carers in dealing with this demanding disease.  The help we provide is largely through information, practical advice and emotional support direct into peoples’ homes and by phone, email and support groups.  To achieve all of this, The MND Association has just 7 part-time fieldworkers across the country who work to ensure that those with Motor Neurone Disease do not fall between the gap of the  range of service providers on whom their survival and comfort depends.

We aim to:

  • co-ordinate and provide up-to-date information
  • provide emotional, social and practical support
  • advocate for the needs of people living with MND
  • develop awareness and understanding of MND
  • encourage research
