The Forbes community is being invited to gather your family, friends, colleagues and even pooches, for the walk, which starts at 10am start from Lions Park.

"The support we've had from the community is inspiring," the organisation's CEO Graham Opie said. 

"We couldn't be more thankful to those giving up their time to help us in this important cause.

"The cause of MND is not known and at present there is no cure. 

"However, with support through events such as these, we can make a difference in the lives of people who have MND, and help to one day find a cure."

Forbes local Ian Simpson, whose mum Julie was diagnosed with MND about seven years ago, couldn't agree more.

The family and friends will be lining up to join the walk, and he encourages all the community to join them. 

It's a great day out, he said, to support those living with a truly terrible disease.

The 5km Lake Forbes walking track is family friendly - suitable for prams, kids' bikes and scooters, as well as wheelchairs.

Dogs on lead are welcome.

Walkers are encouraged to pre-register online (you can order a t-shirt there) at https://forbes.walktodfeet.org.au

If you sign up by April 9 you qualify for an early bird discount, but you can sign up from 9am on the day of the walk.

Wear your comfortable walking shoes, bring your water bottle and some cash to support local fundraising efforts. 

Funds raised on the day support MND NSW, the organisation that supports people living with all types of MND, their families and carers.

They: advocate for people with MND; provide loan equipment including electric wheelchairs, communication devices, electric beds and walking frames; provide education, workshops and seminars; and raise funds for research.

Motor neurone disease (MND) is the name given to a group of diseases in which the nerve cells - neurones - controlling the muscles that enable us to move, speak, breathe and swallow; undergo degeneration.

​With no nerves to activate them, muscles gradually weaken and waste. The patterns of weakness vary from person to person.
