Watching Kevin Sinfield on BBC breakfast - he is an extraordinary individual but he’s always been a team man and this is the best way of demonstrating what everyone else has done to keep him going. £1.8 million and counting. #mnd #Ultra7in7 donate.giveasyoulive.com/fun…
Just in case you missed it, here's Kevin Sinfield being an absolute legend 💙💛 #BBCRL #RLWC2021 #Ultra7in7

“Kevin is a friend to all of us” 💙 This is what Kevin Sinfield’s #Ultra7in7 challenge meant to all those living with and affected by #MND. The team joined @sallynugent and @jonkay01 on the #BBCBreakfast sofa this morning after a remarkable 7 days!

"I'm not giving in until my last breath" - your fortitude is inspirational @Rob7Burrow 👊 The perfect illustration of the importance of maintaining that love, fun and hope while living with MND.
Replying to @TimesSport
He says that he thinks “about something in the future like growing old with Lindsey” and seeing his kids get married. “It gives me a goal to strive for. No one is going to change that.” As he puts it: “I’ve too many reasons to live. I’m not giving in until my last breath”

In case you missed it, today there has been an important breakthrough in MND research 🔬
A really encouraging step forward for #MND research as an extended clinical trial of tofersen has shown it can slow and reduce the progression of the disease in patients with MND caused by the faulty SOD1 gene. Read the full story 👇 myname5doddie.co.uk/whats-on…

A powerful interview with @edslater telling @BBCBreakfast about his diagnosis and how he told his children.
"Just to be around them when you get the news is a great source of comfort." Gloucester rugby's Ed Slater, who was recently diagnosed with motor neurone disease, tells #BBCBreakfast's @sallynugent how he told his children. @BBCSport ➡️ bbc.in/3A3aRRW

I may look like a call centre operator but this week has been one where I've taken steps to 'bank my voice'. It is crucial for people with MND, as speech becomes difficult I have a tool to communicate that sounds like me! I hope that it’s a while before I use it 😅 #mnd

Up to date facts of Motor Neurone Disease. Every week in the #UK alone 42 people die. A person's lifetime risk of developing MND is around 1 in 300. #NoCause #NoCure for #MND #ALS https://xitter.cf/t.co/IQbDvbi7Q3 #EndALS #EndMND
