Motor neurone disease research

The Motor Neurone Disease New Zealand Research Fund was established in 2015, following the first nationwide Walk to Defeat MND. We are indebted to Dr Claire Reilly for her passion and vision in creating the fund. The goal of the fund is to encourage, support, and generate interest in the creation of New Zealand based MND research. We will only support quality research that has ethical approval.
