A Dublin woman is running 100km for her husband with motor neurone disease who "can't hold his daughter's hand" anymore.
Orlagh Reynolds lives with her Australian husband Fraser and their daughter Oonagh in Rathfarnham. Fraser has only had MND for 12 weeks and is already unable to hold his daughter's hand.
MND is a progressive neurological condition that attacks the motor neurones, or nerves, in the brain and spinal cord. Messages gradually stop reaching muscles, which leads to weakness and wasting, and MND affects how you walk, talk, eat, drink, and breathe.
