Our Members - Their Stories

Rachel Hore is not one to give up. After being made redundant from her long-time job, she persevered until another opportunity finally arose. As she writes, she just didn’t like the alternative.

Eating difficulties, combined with mobility issues, were having a major impact. A diet of soft pureed food has been replaced with an almost normal diet, writes MDANZ Canterbury member Mary Fargher.

MDANZ Northern Region member Neil Singh is the face of our annual appeal - Roll 1k for MDA. His parents are sharing their story to help raise awareness and funds.
