Messages of support have flooded in for a dad who was diagnosed with a terminal illness.
Rob O'Hara, from Runcorn, was diagnosed with motor neurone disease (MND) which affects the brain and the nervous system and gradually gets worse over time. The 34-year-old was told he had the disease just weeks before the birth of his baby boy Jenson.
The dad noticed something was wrong when he couldn't pinch his thumb and index finger together anymore. He initially suspected he was suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome - a common condition that causes tingling, numbness and pain in your hand and fingers.
