⚽️ Eight years ago today, #Bury, #Burnley, and #Swansea player LENNY JOHNROSE appeared on @BBCNWT to talk about tackling #MND, less than four years before he would lose his life to this merciless disease.
Fly free, Lenny.... 😢

This morning, I had the privilege of photographing the Ashton Memorial in Lancaster as around 12,000 handmade poppies, created by people from across the Lancaster District, cascaded spectacularly from its balcony. Lest We Forget.

⚽️ Remembering ROB HINDMARCH, the @SunderlandAFC, @DCFCOfficial, and @Wolves defender who lost his life to #MND twenty-four years ago today, aged 41.

TWO #MND milestone anniversaries to celebrate today!
THREE years ago today, the game-changing #MND/#ALS @UKMNDRI was launched, bringing together a virtual network of #MND labs, clinical centres and researchers carrying out world leading research across the UK to accelerate the search for a cure! The culmination of #MND Warriors Lee Millard and David Setters' relentless efforts to secure a £50 million government grant!
ONE year ago today, the official opening of THE ROB BURROW CENTRE FOR #MND took place, just seventeen short months after we lost our #MND hero. The purpose-built facility in #Leeds is dedicated to providing the very best care and support for patients and their families....
#MND #MoreNeedsDoing!
🏉 Remembering TINUS LINEE, the close friend of fellow #Springbok JOOST VAN DER WESTHUIZEN, who lost his life to #MND twelve years ago today, aged 45.
Twenty-seven short months later, Joost too would succumb to this hideous disease, also at the age of 45...
