25 February 2024 was no ordinary Sunday. It was a day filled with warmth and happiness in this gathering of the MND community of family members meeting & sharing their stories and challenges along this journey together. Smiling faces, grins, hug’s, and handshakes greetings was in the air.

This was MND Malaysia annual gathering at Bukit Jalil Golf & Resort Club, Kuala Lumpur. A gathering to foster closer bonding and fellowship within the MND community. To share with everyone that they are not alone in this journey after being diagnosed with MND.

Upon arrival, guests were ushered to the photo booth to have their family photos taken. To break the ice, our volunteers introduced the guests to each other, and it can be seen they blended well together sharing their experiences and challenges.

The sharing and chatting continued into the ballroom where our MC for the event, Nadia kickstarted the event with an interactive game with the guests. The audience was very supportive in full participation to the MC.

Followed by a Patient’s sharing session by Halim, presented by his daughter, Liez. The sharing was so touching that we can see many teary eyes in the audience. Halim himself cried and was comforted by his daughters. A video presentation by Kairul Nizam was aired as he was not able to attend this session.
