On May 23rd 2011 my life changed forever. My youngest son Adam was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease. Since that awful day he and the whole family have been through an avalanche of emotions. Shock, anger, grief, despair. I have spent so long crying I think I have no tears left. I need to do something positive.

I have decided to set up this page to collect funds for the MNDA, the main charity looking after people with MND and supporting research into a cure for this relentless disease..

The MNDA offer several types of support including supplying information for people thrown into disarray by the diagnosis, financial support for equipment etc and a network for sufferers and carers to help and support each other.

If you feel that you can help however small your donation please donate to the charity through this site.

I do not intend to run a marathon or climb a mountain or shave my head. I am too old and need to keep my energy to care for my son but I promise I will give all my strength and time to him whenever I am called on.

I am very proud to call Adam my son. He is a big hearted man, a wonderful son and a great daddy to his seven year old daughter Libbie but most of all he is the bravest person I have ever known and I love him so much.
