His wife Emma recently shared a poignant video to celebrate his birthday. Fighting to hold back tears, the 44-year-old admitted to her 680,000 Instagram followers that she felt it was important for people to see all sides of living with the condition.
She said: “So today is my husband's birthday. I have started the morning by crying. As you can see by my swollen eyes and snotty nose, I just think it's important you see all sides of this. I always get this message or people always tell me like, ‘Oh you're so strong, I don't know how you do it.’ I'm not given a choice. I wish I was. But I'm also raising two kids in this."
