People are being urged to be aware of the symptoms of a 'lethal' health condition as they are often overlooked or dismissed.
Motor Neurone Disease (MND) is an illness that damages parts of a person's brain and nervous system, leading to things like weakness in muscles and slurred speech that get worse over time.
The disease, which sadly has no cure, is said to affect around 5,000 adults in the UK on average, with six people dying from it in this country every day.
