MND is typically fatal within 2-5 years. Around 50% die within 14 months of diagnosis. The remaining 50% will not necessarily die within the next 14 months as the distribution is significantly skewed. As a rough estimate, 1 in 5 patients survive for 5 years, and 1 in 10 patients survive 10 years. Stephen Hawking is a well-known example of a person with MND, and has lived for more than 40 years with the disease.

Motor neurone disease (MND) is a progressive and incurable condition that affects the nervous system. The life expectancy after diagnosis is typically 2-5 years, but this can vary from person to person. Some individuals may live longer with the disease due to advancements in medical care and support services.
