Congratulations to Denise Morris and friends who recently held a sausage sizzle at Tuggeranong Bunnings raising $1234.55 to support people living with motor neurone disease. What a great effort, and under some very trying circumstances with a very hot day.
Australian media has recently reported on a poster presented at the 29th International Symposium on ALS/MND held in Glasgow in December that reported outcomes of a phase 1 Clinical Trial conducted in Australia. The phase 1 trial was designed to test the safety and dosage of the compound CuATSM and research funds donated to MND NSW have been part of the $1.2million invested in trials of copper ATSM through the MND Research Institute of Australia.
A hypothesis adding another small piece to the MND jigsaw featured on the ABC radio AM program yesterday and on some news channels in Australia last night. The story briefly explored a review article about fungal neurotoxins and sporadic motor neurone disease, published this month in the journal Neurotoxicity Research.
A big thank you to Tony Calleja who raised $1,390 from a raffle in support of MND NSW as part of his fundraising 'The Lap of Honour 2018'. Thank you to everyone who supported Tony with a ticket purchase and congratulations to the winners! Pictured left is Tony at one of his raffle ticket sale locations.
