Global MND Awareness Day
Each year on 21 June, the MND Association joins with the wider MND community around the world to mark Global MND Awareness Day.
Global MND Awareness Day began in 1997, led by the International Alliance of ALS/MND Associations. The date - June 21, the summer solstice - symbolises light, strength, and the resilience of the global MND community. Over time, this day has grown into a powerful platform, bringing together voices from all corners of the world.

This year Global MND Awareness Day is on Sunday 21st June 2026. Join us and MND/ALS communities across the world to raise awareness of motor neurone disease.
