A lifelong LFC fan, ex-soldier and 'tireless' Motor Neurone Disease campaigner has died after a brave battle with the disease.
Chris Rimmer, 39, who co-founded the Darby Rimmer MND foundation with friend and former Liverpool FC defender Stephen Darby, died on Monday after being diagnosed with the disease in 2015. Chris, who has been called an 'inspiration', leaves behind a legacy of 'tireless' and 'passionate' campaigning for awareness of the disease that will be continued by the foundation he left behind.
The Darby Rimmer MND foundation, set up by Chris and Stephen, both MND sufferers, released a statement on Twitter this morning. They said: "It is with deep, deep sadness we bring you the devastating news that on Monday 18th April, our Co-Founder @chrisrimmerMND sadly passed away after a brave battle with motor neurone disease.
