Brave dad who was 'fit and active' left paralysed by 'awful' disease

A dad who was once the "loudest person in the room" is now losing his voice due to a degenerative disease.

Justin Hammond, 50, was diagnosed with motor neurone disease 18 months ago. An incredibly fit and active man until a few years ago, Justin is now a wheelchair user and is paralysed from his neck down, with his condition continuing to deteriorate.

The 50-year-old, who works as a sales director at Princes in the Liver Building, is currently being cared for at home in Sale by his family, including his parents, his two daughters Rosie, 20, and Tilly, 14, and a series of carers.
