THE Walton and Frinton Probus Club donated more than £1,000 to the Motor Neurone Disease Association (MNDA).

During the club's January luncheon meeting, club chairman Peter Wade presented a cheque of £1,000.30 to Ellie Miller from MNDA.

Members raised the funds at the club's summer ball and on the day of the meeting itself.

Ellie gave a presentation about the association's activities and the effect of MND on patients.

The disease progresses rapidly and affects a person's ability to walk, talk, eat and ultimately to breathe.

A third of people die within a year of diagnosis and half within two years, and there is currently no effective treatment and no cure.
