I was diagnosed with MND in 2021. It was earth shattering news. I can't walk, stand, dress, go to the loo, cut food etc. What really hurts is I can't play football, golf or help around the house. My rock - and "can do" link is my wife (and son) who care for me each day. 

I've got great support from family and friends. My MND nurse and other NHS staff around the Anne Rowling Building keep my health in check. It's my love for Hearts that keeps me going mentally.

I've hand helmed across the Atlantic, met Princess Anne and led Hearts out in the Scottish Cup. I'm their MND ambassador. I'm looking forward to the trial.
