A brave Glasgow mum who suffered from MND showed "immense resilience and courage" every step of the way, before the rapidly progressing illness sadly took her life.
Allyson Risi's son Michael, 26 from Glasgow, is preparing to run in the Edinburgh Marathon in memory of his much-loved mum, raising awareness and funds for MND Scotland along the way.
Speaking on the first time Allyson began to show symptoms, Michael said: “Mum’s first noticeable symptoms were stiffening of the ankle and slurred speech. After being referred to a specialist, the process of elimination began."
