Ian Pratt Supports “I Am Breathing” Documentary – Featured on BBC Look North

BBC Look North showcased Ian Pratt’s dedication to MND awareness as he attended the screening of “I Am Breathing,” a powerful documentary highlighting the realities of living with MND.

On June 21, 2013, BBC Look North featured Ian Pratt at the screening of the powerful MND documentary “I Am Breathing.” In the early stages of his diagnosis, Ian recognised the critical need to raise awareness about Motor Neurone Disease (MND) and to advocate for better understanding and research.

The documentary, which sheds light on the emotional and physical challenges of living with MND, resonated deeply with Ian. His support for the film reinforced his commitment to bringing greater visibility to the disease and strengthening efforts to improve patient care, research, and public understanding.

This early recognition of the need for advocacy was pivotal in shaping Ian’s vision for what would become the Ian Pratt MND Foundation (IPMNDF). Through his foundation, Ian dedicated himself to ensuring that awareness, research, and support for those affected by MND continued to grow.

BBC Look North’s segment highlighted Ian’s passion for this cause, showing how his determination led to lasting change in MND awareness and funding. His legacy lives on through the foundation’s ongoing efforts to support patients, fund research, and drive forward the search for better treatments and, ultimately, a cure.
