Leeds man's vow after tragic death of wife from 'cruel' disease

A Leeds man has vowed to help families affected by a "cruel" disease following the death of his wife.

Mum-of-two Susie Hamlin, from Roundhay, died after battling motor neurone disease (MND) in 2018. Susie, who "loved" being a senior dietitian on the liver transplant unit at Leeds Teaching Hospitals, left behind her husband John and two children Millie and Harry.

Her "gorgeous" son and daughter were just eight and 13 years old at the time of her death - which left the family "devastated" that Susie was unable to see her children grow up. This year, John, who is also a doctor, and Susie would have celebrated 20 years since they got married.
