A Scottish mum who couldn't squeeze soap from a cloth while washing dishes was told she had just 18 months to live after a shock Motor Neurone Disease diagnosis.
Helen McMurray, from Cowdenbeath in Fife, noticed herself struggling to grip onto things and use strength in one hand in November 2021. After the 66-year-old was referred to a neurologist by her GP, she underwent months of tests.
Helen was given the life-changing news in May 2022 as the tests concluded she had MND. A further blow was delivered to the grandmother-of-two when doctors gave her around 18 months to live.
