Symptoms of Motor Neurone Disease can be spotted early on.
Following the heartbreaking story of Justin Hammond that the ECHO covered this week, here are the symptoms of the debilitating disease. Justin, 50, was diagnosed with motor neurone disease (MND) 18 months ago, with him being an incredibly fit and active man up until a few years ago.
He is now a wheelchair user and is paralysed from his neck down, with his condition continuing to deteriorate. He works as a sales director at Princes in the Liver Building and is currently being at his home in Sale by his family which includes his parents and two daughters Rosie, 20, and Tilly, 14, as well as by a series of carers.
