👋I’m really glad you’ve found your way here. I created this community after realising how often I’m asked the same question by people living with MND, their families and carers: “How do you do it?” After being diagnosed with MND in 2017, I’ve certainly worked out a few things along the way. Some through good advice, some through trial and error, and plenty simply because I’ve had to find another way of doing things. So rather than keeping all of that information in my head, I wanted to create somewhere we could share it. This community is about the practical side of living with ALS/MND — the things we do, use, adapt and figure out as life changes. Inside the community, I’ll be sharing things like: - How I Do It — how I approach everyday tasks, travel, appointments, communication and more - What I Use — equipment, technology and other things I personally find useful - What I’ve Learned — including things I wish I’d known earlier - Ask Leanne — your questions about how I manage different aspects of life with MND - What Works for You? — because my way certainly isn’t the only way, and your experience may help someone else too Have a look through the Classroom, where we’ll continue building a practical library of resources you can come back to when you need them. And please join the conversation. Ask questions, share your own experiences and tell us about the little things you’ve discovered that make life easier. This community will be much more useful if we learn from each other. One important note: what I share here is my lived experience, not medical advice. ALS/MND affects everyone differently, so anything relating to your health or care should always be discussed with your own healthcare team. To get started, introduce yourself below. Tell us who you are, where you’re from and what brought you to the community. I’m looking forward to seeing what we can build here together. xx Leanne 💙
