My wife was diagnosed with MND 2 years ago and now she has lost the use of her arms and legs and her speech is very slurred. She has just been assessed by the Speach team from the Neuro Centre at Putney and she will be getting soon an eyegalze screen. The team mentioned all the good work you do a suggested we get in touch.

Lost my partner just over 2 years ago to MND and he had taken the step to communicate with you Sarah . You were somone who helped him by helping him understand what he had. Siobhan xx

Dear Sarah, I echo what Graham has said "You are indeed an inspiration to many." How are you? Kind Regards.

Hi Sarah, just wanted to say that you are an inspiration to people. I just visited the Daily Mail website where I saw many of your paintings and you have your own exhibition. That is something to be proud of. Brilliant!

Blessings to you, Sarah. Found you on InspireMeToday.com - and you have.

super !!!

Years of admiration Sarah. I feel as though I know you. You are an inspiration to us all.

Three weeks after a flu shot my mother was diagnosed with severe arthritis ,then over a year later MND (brain & spine). She only lived less than a year after that.
The one saving grace in knowing what was to come, was that I had time to say I love you and thank you mum. We also shared a lot of laughs, even near the end.
It made me realize how much the rest of us waste time staring out of windows when that is all some people are capable of.
Thinking of you and your family
Love Paul

Hello,
I am familiar with the disease (ALS). My mother was sick a year before she died last March 2010. I wish you courage and I think very much to you and your family. All my best. Yours sincerely.

I'm trying to find answers since my daughter Keri died at 29, after a year's diagnosis. Can you tell me how far from pregnancy your symptoms started? Did you have any root canals before symptoms? Flu shot, yeast problems, EVER had Mononeucleoisis? thanks Sarah. I know there are connections, and I can't get researchers in the states to so much as reply. Thank you for your time. I have your video linked on Keri's website.

my brother has mnd an we only found our few weeks ago an we dnt no wot 2 do his only 20 an its really sad that he has 2 feel like this.. its not fair.. if there is something that cn help him plz tel us..

I have been totally inspired and deeply moved by your story Sarah. Thank you so much for sharing it with the world.
Love from Nancy (Canada)

Love your work - opened my eyes to MND. Deeply impressed with your drive and purpose. Keep strong. X

Keep going Sarah, you are an example to many, many people.
Love from Belgium.

Dear Sarah:
My granddaughter Michelle told me your story today, and I am deeply touched.
I will hold you in my thoughts and prayers. May the good Lord bless you.
Hang in there, brave Lady. So many are rooting for you.
From Texas with love

Ok - You were totally awesome in 2009 - but just wait until they see what you will do in 2010! WOOT! GO SARAH!!

Sarah has entered the 'Social Media Ad Campaign' category as she is running an advertising campaign via social media ... if you think she is in the wrong category then you have a lot more issues than your blatant lack of compassion. Whilst I do not agree with some of the content of the short film/advert, I totally disagree with Clearcasts decision to only show the advert on TV if all images of twisted limbs are removed. They are paramount to demonstrating the effects of MND so to remove them would render the advert useless. Madness

Sarah,
Your courage inspires me! Thank you for making a difference in my life. I am proud to call you friend and you are my HERO! xx

Forget about Fernando Sarah, the fact you are getting attention from the bitter and the jealous shows you're making waves. Keep going, you are making a difference.

I LOVE YOU, Sarah! You are amazing beyond words.

I totally agree with TRACY! Fernando is an ignorant person! MOTOR NEURON DISEASE is something that more people need to be aware of because it can HAPPEN TO ANYONE AT ANYTIME!!! There's NO CURE and NO TREATMENT. My mom suffers from it and i want to THANK SARAH for being BRAVE ENOUGH TO MAKE A VIDEO AND SHARING IT WITH THE WORLD!! It's because of IGNORANT/DISGUSTING people LIKE YOU FERNANDO that people with MND lose HOPE!!!!! You are an IDIOT!!!

my god what a ignorant twat fernando is , he just doesn,t get the point, he obviously is totally ignorant of facts and brains !!! hopefully he will never encounter MND but if he does then maybe he will change his way of thinking ! what an UGLY person he is!!!!!!!!!!

I wont vote for you because you are in the wrong category! What does sickness have in common with social media AD campaign?? It s very ugly to see how you sell your sickness to get votes.
Best regards,
fernando

sarah - i think of you often. you give me strength, and remind me why I must stay focused and vigilant each day. We'll ride Boston to NY till they #endALS!

Sarah,

I found your site through the Mashable Open Web Awards. Your video and achievements are amazing. Best of luck!

What's up Sarah?!
I am happy to vote for you. I have never heard of this disorder. There should be more public awareness so that research can be funded.
Your commercial was on point! Sometimes, you have to be graphic in order to drive a point home. Fight on1

sarah, good to "know" you. You are blessed that you can still stand. I cannot stand, walk, eat, speak,shallow breathing, but I do have some use still of lower arms and hands. I am interested inhow you "talk". soon I am afraid I won't be able to use my hands. I have hospice too....they are wonderful. God Bless you. Keep up the fight and pray for a cure!

Hi Sarah, the advert is such a great awareness raising tool and its censorship is scandalous. I've no doubt that you will keep battling for it to be shown in its entirety and I hope Clearcast wake up and smell the coffee. Best wishes, Paul

Hi Sarah, glad to have found your site. I'm impressed with your movie and your personality. thanks, Hans, The Netherlands

Your story is a total inspiration Sarah !

I KEEP YOUR UTBE PERFORMANCE OF MND ON MY HOME PAGE ON FACBOOK. I ENCOURAGE ALL MY FRIENDS TO VIEW IT AND WHAT A STRIKING AND ARTFUL PERFORMANCE. THANK U AND KUDOS TO YOU AND EVERYTHING U DO!

Wow - brilliant! I remember being blown away by the amazing movie (my brother Paul linked it to me about four months ago), but the Making Of video was also very moving and inspirational. I'm so sorry the TV types are scared of it - it was kind of the idea to be terrifying (duh!). Fantastic website all the way 'round - great job and inspirational, as usual.
Very best regards.

Beautiful Sarah~ Thank you so much for your strength and inspiration. My mom has been diagnosed with ALS. We live in the U.S. and I have seen your movie. Its so powerful and it really allows me to try and understand what my mom is going through. What advice would you give a caregiver to a MND survivor? I get frustrated that I cannot do more for my mom and wondering what more I can do for her. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you for being you.
Hugs,
Briana
