Monday, 18th June 2012 - Sunday, 24th June 2012

Every year since 1997, the MND community worldwide has marked 21st June as the global day of recognition of ALS/MND - a disease that affects people in every country of the globe.

21 June is a solstice - a turning point - and each year the ALS/MND community undertake a range of activities to express their hope that this day will be another turning point in the search for cause, treatment and cure of this awful disease.

Global Day is important because it is one day that every member of the International Alliance has in common to reflect their dedication and role in the global fight against ALS/MND. This one day allows us to recognise that we are not alone in our fight against ALS/MND, and that patients, carers, former carers, scientists, health care professionals, volunteers and many, many others are all part of this fight.

The IMNDA would like to invite you to get involved by joining the popular campaign that we run each year: "Drink Tea for MND", everyone loves a cuppa especially in Ireland so why not organise an afternoon tea / coffee morning in your home, local pub, restaurant, GAA club, workplace, community centre, garden... anywhere! We want as many people as possible drinking tea for MND throughout Global Awareness week this June. Tea packs are available from the IMNDA office, please fill out the form below or email / freefone 1800 403 403.

The campaign poster can also be downloaded below.
