In 2007 my dear brother died from Motor Neurone Disease. This was approximately 18 months after his initial diagnosis. This tragic event truly blew my family apart as we struggled to come to terms with the physical impact on my brother and also the emotional impact on him and our family. Unfortunately, the disease was rapid and we witnessed a strong physically fit man in his prime, deteriotate through different stages of this progressive disease where he could no longer move or breathe for himself, sounds grim hey... it was. That period of time was like an unstoppable speed train and in my heart i knew there was nothing i could do to change this. He remained unbelievably strong and positive throughout, still smiling and joking at the worst times, it was truly heartbreaking. He tried everything possible to 'make himself better'. Unfortunately there is no cure for MND... The Motor Neurone Disease Association continues to campaign tirelessley to raise awareness, help and support sufferers and thier families in many different ways and they also play a huge role in helping to find out more about this disease with the hope that one day there will be a cure.
Having experienced the impact of Motor Neurone Disease, this is my way of helping other people and familes now and in the future who's lives may be touched by MND.
