One of the most inspirational people I know, #SITraN’s Professor Dame Pamela Shaw, is profiled in today's @yorkshirepost.
Her determination to find out more about MND - develop treatments and, one day, a cure is humbling.
We owe her so much 💙

Doddie was a legend - formidable, fearless, inspirational.
His legacy is secure as someone who made a difference in our shared fight against the cruellest of diseases.
But tonight, his family & friends have lost an irreplaceable man. Our thoughts are with them.

In our fight against MND, we believe the more we know, the more we can do 💙
That's why we're investing more in research - even if it uncovers difficult truths.

🖤 REMEMBERING #rugbyleague's Nick Smith, whose young life was cruelly cut short by motor neuron disease #otd 2017, at the age of 38. 😢
In 1998, Nick played with 'Sir Kev' Sinfield in the
@leedsrhinos Academy Championship-winning side!

Our friend Kev Sinfield is incredible 💙
As he prepares to start #TheExtraMile challenge, we want to send him good luck & all our love.
MND killed Nick. Kev’s efforts mean we’re closer to the prospect of others not having to face the same heartbreak.
We can’t thank him enough.

Today would have been my friend Kirsty’s 30th birthday.
We’re determined to ensure her memory lives on by supporting her son Casey who, at 2, is facing life without his mummy 💔
Our charity @ForSmudger will help him - something I’m proud we can do.
