Doctor's slurred speech led to motor neurone disease realisation - now she can't talk and wakes up choking

Rob Burrow and his wife Lindsay Burrow launched a new exhibition yesterday looking at the lives of people living with Motor Neurone Disease. Rob was diagnosed with the condition in 2019 and has since gone on to raise awareness through his own foundation and helped bring MND better into the public eye.

The exhibition will tell the stories of seven people living with MND, all of which were at Leeds Station on Friday morning, where Rob and Lindsay did the unveiling. There were a number of hospital workers, care staff, doctors and family members affected by the condition.
