Contacts

We started supporting the Association in about 2006 when first told they were investigating my wife, Kathy, for MND, and I joined the committee after she was finally diagnosed in 2016.  I was asked to become campaigns contact, a job I thoroughly enjoyed until I was asked to take over the Chair in 2022.  After Kathy died in 2023 I became an Association Visitor and have been a member of the national peer support group on CHC since it started. 

As well as my role as Association Visitor, I also act as the main point of contact for the branch. If you want to find out more about what we do, get involved yourself, or if you feel you could benefit from any of the support we offer, please do not hesitate to reach out.

When my husband Mike was diagnosed with MND, we found meeting up with others who were going through similar experiences was a great help. I decided to help others to do the same and took on the role of social secretary for the branch. I am the person to contact for information about social get togethers and carers lunches and welcome any recommendations for accessible venues near you.

I am very happy to support the Motor Neurone Association in this role and give something back with being involved in further charitable works.

After losing my step dad to MND I wanted to give something back to the association to thank them for the support and care they provided my mum and step dad. I’ve worked in administration and operations in my career and so the secretary role seemed a suitable post for me to support the branch with.

After losing a good friend in 2021, and my brother in 2022 to this awful disease I wanted to get involved & volunteer to raise awareness & support the charity locally by taking on the Campaigns Volunteer role.

I volunteered in memory of my mum who we sadly lost to this terrible disease in 2014. Managing the newsletter means I can help to promote all the wonderful campaigns, fundraising events and local news.

I am the Community Support Coordinator; I cover Cheshire and South Lancs Branches.  I am home based in Warrington and have been with the association since May 2023.  My role is primarily to support the volunteers to do their fantastic work.

I think the work the MND association do is fantastic & I wanted to get involved in what way I could, supporting those living with MND in Cheshire & their families.

My wife was diagnosed with MND in 2019 and finally succumbed in 2023. During that period we had a lot of support from many sources including, of course, the Cheshire branch of the MNDA. After 2023 I felt that I had learned a lot about what patients and carers endured and so it seemed natural to offer to help out if the occasion arose. I took the Association Visitor training course in summer 2024 and look forward to helping others where I can.

I was an Occupational Therapist for 50 yrs. My special interest has always been Neurology. I have also been a Community Rehabilitation OT treating various conditions, including MND and have always been involved in Support Groups. When I retired 6 years ago I decided to train as an AV for the Cheshire Branch to support those living with MND and their families.

We started supporting the Association in about 2006 when first told they were investigating my wife, Kathy, for MND, and I joined the committee after she was finally diagnosed in 2016.  I was asked to become campaigns contact, a job I thoroughly enjoyed until I was asked to take over the Chair in 2022.  After Kathy died in 2023 I became an Association Visitor and have been a member of the national peer support group on CHC since it started. 

In 2009 I completed my Association Visitor training. Previously I had cared for my mum, Erica, who had MND. I am so proud to be part of such a dedicated, hard working and caring committee.
