Walking Football communities’ input required for MND University research project

About the MND Research Project

My name is Chloe, and I’m a Research Assistant at Manchester Metropolitan University working on a project focused on ultrasound to investigate motor neurone disease (MND).

I wanted to get in touch as walking football groups are really well connected within their communities and I wanted to see if you’d be willing to help us share information about our study.

How Walking Football Communities Can Help

We are currently looking for healthy adult participants, and increasing awareness is key to supporting this research.

If you’d be happy to, it would be great if you could share the attached poster with other members, whether that’s on social media, by email, or however you usually communicate.

If you’d like to take part too that would be very much welcomed

Thank you for your time and consideration,

Kind Regards,

Chloe Boden, MND Research Assistant (Assessment of Muscle Health)

Department of Life Sciences | Faculty of Science & Engineering | John Dalton Building 5.16 | Manchester Metropolitan University | UK
