Story

Like most people I was oblivious to what Motor Neurone disease was and the effects it can have on the patient given this diagnosis. That was until my uncle was given this horrific news less than two years ago. This totally turned his whole life upside down. Being a husband, father and grandfather this news totally changed all their lives instantly. To watch him lose his independance, mobilty, confidence and abilities over a matter of just months was heartbreaking, however he always tried his best to keep his humour and wit by making people laugh. Sadly over the last few weeks of his life his communication became more difficult for him, he could no longer make us laugh, just cry. 

On 12th May 2015 MND claimed yet another warrior 'Our. Terry'. 

ALL other diseases, illnesses and diagnosis there are treatments available, cures possible and battles to be fought and hopefully won, but not with MND, there is NO cure, there are NO answers. Something as simple as scratching our head, or feeding ourselves is something we ALL take for granted on a daily basis just like our voice and having the ability to talk. So ive decided to lose my voice for just 24 hours so i can imagine (just a small fraction) of what it must be like not being able to communicate with friends and loved ones. 

Please help me raise funds for this fantastic cause and lets support all the MND warriors out there who are battling with this evil disease.
