In 2015 my father was diagnosed with motor neoronse disease after having a tickly cough.  After a number of months of investigation he was told he had something called mnd. This was a shock to the whole family and when told it took time to take this in. I thought this was hard for me but can only imagine how this was for my dad. From being diagnosed to 1 year later we seen the change in my dad from loss of his speech and muscle wastage to having a peg inserted into his stomach to continue to give his body vital norishment required when he could not eat. My dad continued to stay strong and fight to the bitter end writing funny stories on his iPad for the grand kids to read. We as a family stayed strong and tried to help when we could with even the grand kids learning basic sign language to communicate to their grampa tam.

After my dad lost the use of most of my dads muscles and requiring the use of a wheel chair my dad went into hospital with pneumonia to the lungs he then  suffered a heart attack and died later that day. 

This was a hard and difficult time but the care and support provided was great and this is only made possible through fundraising.over the years we have continued to support MND and raise funds and awareness each year. Your help and donations is and will be appreciated from others who fight against motor neurons disease.

Thank You for your help and funding to help find a cure to mnd
