    Just seen a very moving interview of the 3 of them back together. All 3 are visibly deteriorating and while I have so much sympathy for them, I have so much more admiration for how they are standing up to this awful disease and what they are doing about it. God bless.

    I am hoping the legacy of COVID is the huge capacity for research that has been set up is used on
    Other terrible diseases such as this one

    I watched this on the news this morning. Heartbreaking to see such active men reduced to this.
    My wife says i am hard when it comes to all things emotional , but this brought a tear to my eyes.
    An illness , we need to find a cure or some sort of treatment for as soon as possible.
    God bless all three of them.

    Pleased to see the 3 of them looking as well as they do. My sons best mates mum got the same diagnosis 18 months ago and she’s in a far worse condition. The boys are 11 - makes you re-evaluate what’s important.

    A really tough watch.

    Imagine living with this dreadful illness? Gives real context to my own personal experiences.

    Im not sure that's true, covid has fundamentally changed clinical research. There's a number of papers in the Lancet you can read about it but in regards to ALS or MND there are new gene therapies now being developed that use the same technology as the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines. Obviously these two vaccines were the first time that mRNA has been cleared for use in humans.

    They may not cure the disease completely, but the tests they have done so far show that the mRNA therapy is able to reduce significantly the accumulation of mutated cells which leads to degradation before it has a chance to aggregate and multiply. Therefore, if you can catch it early enough the treatment could significantly slow down the progress of the disease.

    Hopefully now the mRNA technology has been fast tracked via the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, they can move to human trials.

    In case people aren’t aware of Amazon smile it allows you to donate a portion of all your purchases to a chosen charity and the Darby Rimmer MND charity is on there.
    So if you’ve not got it set up-it take 5mins and you’re supporting a cause close to bantam hearts
