I attended an important presentation on Motor Neurone Disease (MND) at Wagga Wagga Base Hospital on Saturday evening with Professor Dominic Rowe and A/Prof Martin Jude.

Professor Rowe is leading a vital research study into the prevalence of MND in the Riverina, supported by a $2 million grant from NSW Health. With MND cases increasing by over 250% in Australia over the past 30 years, this research is crucial in understanding the environmental factors contributing to the disease.

A big thank you to the Macquarie University MND Research Centre and the NSW MND Surveillance Unit for their dedication to improving outcomes for those affected by this devastating disease.
