Episode description

Today’s episode is a closer to home. I’m opening up about Motor Neurone Disease (MND), a devastating illness that changed my family forever. In 2017, my uncle Mark lost his battle with MND, and back then, I had no idea what the disease even was.

This chat is about sharing his story, raising awareness, and shining a light on the incredible work of organisations like FightMND. I’ll break down what MND actually is, how it impacts not just the body but entire families, and how you can help, even in small ways.
