FaTHoM logoFamilies for the Treatment of Hereditary MND (FaTHoM) is an initiative to bring together the community of families affected by inherited (genetic) forms of MND.

With meetings and events consisting of expert talks on key issues affecting such families, FaTHoM is open to any person living with an inherited form of MND, and the close relatives of those affected by inherited forms of the disease.

FaTHoM Day 

A dedicated day for those affected by genetic forms of MND and their wider families. An opportunity to learn about current and future trials and research from leading neurologists and researchers, and to meet with other families from around the country living with hereditary MND in a friendly and supportive educational environment.
