In 2015 Michael was believed to have Parkinson's Disease but after numerous medications failed to help him he was further diagnosed in 2017 with Multi System Atrophy (MSA) which is a rare degenerative neurological disorder for which there is no treatment or cure. During these difficult years Michael was selfless and remained positive and cheerful.

Michael was always a very caring and giving person who loved people. Even after his tragic and early demise he was able to help improve the lives of at least three people through his organ donation. 

Michael intently investigated his condition and was very interested in all forms of medical advancements and research. His family feel that the best way to honour his life would be to contribute to the National Brain Appeal and thereby help others suffering with brain disorders.

Michael's family would greatly appreciate your donation to this appeal.
