petehinton Posted June 2 Report Share Posted June 2 (edited) Really hit me hard, as someone who’s very sadly had to have MND cast its truly horrific net over my family in an awful way over the last 18 months. The courage and strength he has shown to raise huge awareness of truly the worst disease imaginable, is truly an inspiration. Hopefully now he can finally rest, and be at peace with no further worries of what is to come tomorrow.
