In October 2021, Charlie Boniface was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease, a life-shortening degenerative disease with no cure. Despite the best care, his condition deteriorated quicker than we ever expected. Charlie passed away in hospital on Wednesday 2nd of March 2022, surrounded by his loved ones.
Motor neurone disease (MND) is the name for a group of diseases that affects particular nerves known as motor nerves, or motor neurons. In MND, those neurons generate and die and slowly the muscles become weaker. In Charlie’s case, this severely impacted his respiratory function.
We are so grateful for any and all contributions to help us raise funds to find a cure for this devastating disease.
Motor Neurone Disease Research Australia (MNDRA), the research arm of MND Australia, promotes and funds medical and scientific research to understand the causes, find effective treatments and discover cures for MND.
Motor Neurone Disease Research Australia is the research arm of MND Australia. MND Research Australia supports and funds the best MND research with the greatest chance of realising the vision of a world without MND.
