While modern medicine has never been better, one illness that we’re still trying to learn more about is Motor Neurone Disease.

Since 2014, more than $69 million dollars has been invested into research projects by FightMND to battle the illness.

It’s work that Dr Bec Sheean, FightMND Research Director, says has changed the landscape of MND investigation.

While we are learning more, she told John Stanley that two Australians die each day due to the disease.
