A man given a devastating diagnosis has spoken of his heartbreak over no longer being able to take his beloved dog for a walk.
Luke Lawes, 28, is barely able to move his arms and legs after finding out he had motor neurone disease in 2021.
Once a keen footballer, skiier and mountain biker, he now needs support just to walk. His condition has progressed to the point where he is unable to enjoy walks in the countryside with his partner Becky Davies and their dog Mari, who they rescued on a trip to Mexico last year.
