YORK and District Against Motor Neurone Disease is a small local charity, helping patients suffering from this terrible disease who live within a 20-mile radius of York.
We employ a nurse on a part-time basis who offers help and advice to the patients and their families.
She is currently caring for 20 patients on an individual basis, liaising with other health practitioners to ensure the best possible treatment.
As part of our fundraising programme, a collection was held in York city centre on Saturday, May 17, raising £411, which will be used to provide specialist equipment not available through the NHS.
Our sincere thanks go to all who donated so generously, and also to our small band of collectors for giving up their time, once again, to support our cause.
In common with many small charities, we struggle to raise sufficient money to do a good job and their help is invaluable. Well done, everyone.
Pauline Coldrick, Newland Park Drive, York.
