Christian's MND Fight: Help Support Him and His Family

In November, our dear friend and loved one, Christian Westphal’s world was shattered by the diagnosis of Motor Neuron Disease (MND), a cruel and progressive condition that impacts the nerves and causes loss of muscle control. This rare and progressive condition has not only brought uncertainty into his life but has also placed a heavy burden on his young family.

Christian, a loving husband, father, son and brother has always been the rock for his family, and now they are facing an incredibly challenging journey ahead. Despite receiving the devastating diagnosis he continues to show immense strength, positivity, humility and selflessness in the face of this terrible disease. Over the years, he has worked diligently to support his family. Now, Christian is in need of help, as his family is facing one of the most difficult times of their lives.

As part of his journey with MND, Christian will need to make significant adjustments to his life, including moving his family to a more accessible home and replacing his car to accommodate his physical needs. These changes are essential for Christian’s mobility and well-being, but they come with significant financial burdens that his family simply cannot bear alone.

Christian has two sons the youngest (4), a wife, mother, sister and brother who are doing their best to stay strong, but they cannot do this alone. As his condition worsens, they will need additional support to ensure that they can provide for each other and create a safe and comfortable environment for Christian as he navigates this difficult journey.

How You Can Help:

We hope to raise as much as possible to help Christian and his family cover the costs of a suitable vehicle, medical treatment, specialised equipment (such as a wheelchair, hoist, and breathing support), moving expenses and home modifications to ensure the family’s new home is accessible and safe for Christian.

Every donation, no matter how big or small, will make a meaningful difference. If you're unable to donate, please share this campaign with your friends and family so that we can reach as many people as possible who may be able to help.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read Christian’s story and for considering a donation. Your support, love, and generosity will mean the world to Christian and his family.

With heartfelt thanks,

Heidi Westphal (Sister), Ger Loftus, Conor and Niamh Phelan (Friends)
