Story
Rob and I fell for one another within days of meeting, there was a strong spark between us and in the years that followed, we had the most amazing time living, working, travelling and being together pretty much constantly!
Rob effortlessly made everyone feel as if they were the most important person in the world, and took the time to get to know them. His memory for special personal details, trivia, music and sport was astounding, and these were only a small part of why he was so incredible.
When Rob was diagnosed with MND our world fell apart, such an outgoing vibrant person did not deserve to get such a rare, cruel disease. He fought very hard to lead a normal life, and was laughing, joking and mocking right to the end. Still able to get around the house and be as independent as he could, he took each day as it came and showed the most amazing determination to live life. It was a privilege to be able to spend the last few years making him happy.
Without the help of the Motor Neurone Association, Rob would have become a prisoner in his home, their generous donations of equipment and support truly made a difference to both of us, and we both wanted to do what we could to repay them, so please dig deep!
MND has no known origin, no cure and only one treatment with only a 50% chance of slowing its progression, nothing more. Without funds to support essential research, how will we ever rid the world of its cruelest disease?
Thanks for your support, Rob and I appreciate every penny.
