Closed Petition to HM government to increase funding in the search for a cure for motor neuron disease.

Closed on

Every day in the UK five people die from motor neuron disease, it is a terrible illness that relentlessly lays waste to the motor neurons that relay signals from the brain to a persons muscles. Movement and speech , breathing and eating become difficult at first, then impossible, the end result is always fatal.
I respectfully ask HM government to increase the level of funding for research into finding a cure for motor neuron disease.
