In the aftermath of Stephen Hawking’s death, the website for the Motor-Neurone Disease (MND) Association has crashed due to an overwhelming influx of donations.
Hawking was diagnosed with MND—a fatal degenerative condition that affects the brain and nerves—in 1963 and was given two years to live by doctors. He battled the condition, which is also known as ALS, for a further 55 years until his death early Wednesday morning.
We’ve had an influx of donations this morning following the death of Professor Stephen Hawking. Our website is currently down. We’re working to get it live as soon as possible.
Thank you all for your support. If you’re trying to donate, you can visit https://t.co/qn203FsnFh #MND
