๐ฅ BANGING the #MND drum ELEVEN years ago today, in memory of my Dad.
SIX people a day are now diagnosed with this hideous disease, and SIX people die a day!
#MND is NOT rare; they reason so few are living with this horror is because so many are dying!
#MND #MoreNeedsDoing!

Wow!! Just wow!
Amazing fundraising activities like this (the generosity of those taking part & those donating to the cause) provide both practical support and a degree of optimism to those of us currently living with this indiscriminate and debilitating condition. Thank you!

The best way of minimising the chances of populations of this insect pest from increasing is by active management of spruce stands to remove potential material used for breeding and larval development, e.g., dead, dying, snapped, windblown, and otherwise stressed spruce trees.
