This party conference season, we met with over 150 MPs, councillors and peers across the political spectrum so people affected by MND are heard by those who can make real change happen. Here's a message from our Director of Engagement, Richard, to say thank you for the part YOU played.

"When a drug shows no benefit, it’s discarded and we go again and again until we hit on something that works." shared Mike Rogers, our Director of Research, following the latest results from the EXPERT-ALS study.

The second set of results from the study have shown that the drug ropinirole is not likely to be an effective treatment for people with MND. The researchers will stop testing this drug in new study participants, and people in the study who are currently taking it will stop.

The EXPERTS-ALS study will continue without ropinirole after participants' blood samples showed no likely benefit for MND. The study is still recruiting to the other treatment arms and identifying new candidate drugs to add to testing.

Sir Kevin Sinfield and the 7 IN 7 team — take a bow. 🧡

7 ultramarathons in 7 days. £1.3 million raised for MND charities.

Thousands of supporters showing up every step of the way.
To our incredible community, volunteers, people affected by MND, everyone who donated, everyone who ran, and everyone who cheered them on: thank you.

What you have all achieved this week is extraordinary. The money raised, the conversations started and the awareness created will help bring us closer to a world free from MND.

And to Sir Kev and the whole 7 IN 7 team, thank you, thank you, thank you. 🧡
