26 miles 4 mnd was published as a high quality 184 page book. It’s professionally edited and designed, and is illustrated with wonderful portraits by Cristian Barnett. It also has insightful, poignant and uplifting interviews with all 26 contributors. It is now sold out and it is unlikely there will be another print run at this time.

Contributors range from a robotics scientist with ALS who planned to become the worlds first cyborg to a puppeteer who created a show with a life size puppet about a man’s journey after MND diagnosis. There is also an interview with Sally Light, the then CEO of the MND Association and many personal testimonies from people living with different types of MND. Amongst all this and much more are stories from the professors, researchers and volunteers working tirelessly, and often invisibly, behind the scenes to try to defeat motor neurone disease.

Here’s a small selection of what’s inside –

The book also has useful information and resources for people wishing to find out more about motor neurone disease and links to support for those living with the condition and their families.
