Motor neurone disease

Emma VULIN (Pakenham) (13:05): Last week I was also absolutely privileged to be a guest on The Brain Matters Podcast with the Florey Institute, which is airing on 9 March. Dr Shane Huntington OAM, Professor Brad Turner and Dr Thanuja Dharmadasa taught me more in an hour about motor neurone disease than I have ever known. I also attended a decade of FightMND at the MCG. It was an opportunity to congratulate our Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher, in person and hear from inspirational MND sufferers and some of the best medical researchers and medical minds in the world dedicated to finding treatments for MND and one day a cure.
