Guest of Honour at the launch was the eminent scientist, Prof Stephen Hawking, who has unusually had MND for over 40 years.
He said: “Motor Neurone Disease is as common as Multiple Sclerosis, but it has received much less public attention and awareness. This may be because it often kills its victims in two or three years from the first appearance of symptoms, so they aren't around to be noticed.

“I am one of a few long term survivors, so I have a duty to call attention to this terrible disease, and to press for research into its causes, so we can find ways of curing it, or at least preventing it in the future.
