Movement for Hope:
Our mission is to encourage the advancement of art and science, unified by movement, to raise awareness for neurological diseases and multimedia art.

Move Hope Project:
This video features one of two diseases we are campaigning for in the Move Hope Project, MND. Motor Neurone Disease, also known as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Lou Gehrig's Disease, is characteriszed by a inexorable degeneration of alpha motor neurons in the ventral horn of the spinal cord and brain stem (lower motor neurones) and of the motor neurones in the motor cortex of the brain (upper motor neurones) It progressively weakens the muscles to the point of wasting of skeletal muscles due to motor neurone involvement. It eventually takes away the ability to walk, eat, speak, and breathe. About 90-95% of MND cases are sporadic and only 5-10% genetic. The life expectancy is usually 2-5 years, but Sarah has beat the odds for nearly 12 years now (diagnosed in 2000)! She is an exceptional woman with a genuinely positive attitude and spirit of giving.
