The MNDA does a lot of good work to support people with MND. Hopefully someone will point him in their direction.

I suppose the hope has to be that something will be discovered to, if not reverse, stop the advance of the symptoms of this awful disease - it seems a long way away at the moment, but something will be found to help sufferers eventually.

Being young and having been in a profession where he would have been fitter than most, you'd like to think that Sreven Darby will still be around if and when breakthrough is made in the treatment of Motor Neuron disease.
