For those 25 years Paul has worked for Richard Maughan of Monkshall Farm.
 Richard was diagnoised with Motor Neurone Disase in April 2011.
 Motor Neurone Disease  is the name for a rare condition where parts of the nervous system become damaged. This causes progressive weakness, usually with muscle wasting.

Motor neurone disease occurs when specialist nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord called motor neurones stop working properly. Motor neurones control important muscle activity, such as: gripping, walking, speaking, swallowing & breathing.
As the condition progresses, people with motor neurone disease will find these activities increasingly difficult – and eventually impossible – to do.
Motor neurone disease is a severely life-shortening condition for most people. Life expectancy for about half of those with the condition is three to four years from the start of symptoms. However, some people may live for up to 10 years, and others even longer.
Living with motor neurone disease can be frustrating, challenging and sometimes a terrifying possibility, but it's not necessarily as bleak as many people imagine.
With strong community and specialist support, many people lead a relatively independent lifestyle and enjoy a quality of life they may not have imagined was possible at the time of their diagnosis.
In most cases, motor neurone disease is fatal because of the eventual involvement of the breathing muscles, which typically makes someone with the condition gradually more drowsy and more susceptible to chest infections.
The end of life in someone with motor neurone disease is not usually distressing and is most often in their own home. In a few cases, a person with motor neurone disease may die suddenly but painlessly during their sleep.

Paul and Wendy have decided to run the Great North Run in Newcastle upon Tyne on the 7th sept2014 to raise funds for the Cheshire Branch of Motor Neurone Disease Association. The run is 13.1 miles long.
The Cheshire branch have help support Richard and his family though this testing time.
Motor Neurone Disease can strike anyone at any age it could be you or a family member, so we are polity asking you all to dig deep and donate as much as you can for this little researched disabling terminal disease.
Richard , his family, Paul and Wendy thank you in advance for all your support.
