Thank a million to @FightMND and all donors for helping us boost our research into understanding and finding a cure for MND!
Our work will take a completely new pace thanks to a FightMND Impact Grant! So excited for our future outcomes and opportunities!

This year we are investing $20.2 million into MND research and care. This brings our total investment since 2014 to $95.37 million.

Together with our FightMND Army we are changing the future for people living with MND.

Stay tuned for research and care updates. ๐Ÿ’™

thanks!
This work is an outstanding demonstration of the impact and utility of #Zebrafish models.
