Life has a way of giving you a massive reality check at times though doesn't it?
On Friday I was told that Val Franklin had passed away, then on Sunday we found out that Rob Burrow had lost his battle against the disease. A stark reminder that at present there is only one winner when MND is involved.
I'm guessing that some of you reading this may well have known Val and so are fully aware of the lovely person she was. I first met her next to the 18th green at Rushcliffe Golf Club, as we waited for a group of ladies to finish a '72 holes in a day challenge'. Raising money for Stand Against MND. Val was one of the first people I'd met in person who also had MND. At that time I was visibly more advanced in my progression than Val, in my powered wheelchair and reliant on my ventilator. A casual observer would never have known we had the same illness.
Val would later tell me that she found that first meeting quite difficult. Looking at me was frightening, like seeing what the future could hold. To their enormous credit, Val and her husband Pete agreed to come over for a cup of tea to pick my brains about my journey. Nobody ever warns you about the mountains of admin that come with a degenerative disease, and if you don't keep up with it at your end you might not get the help you need. I'd been through a lot of it and I hope had a few useful tips.
Opening up and wanting that information takes immense courage. It shows in my view an acceptance of your circumstances, and a determination to make the most of the time you have. I'm so pleased that Val and I shared that outlook.
You would never have known what we were discussing based on the amount of laughter in the room. I was left with that familiar feeling of confusion as to why MND seems to attack such lovely people.
Val and her family became and remain stellar supporters of the charity, and I would frequently see them at the monthly golf club quizgo (highly recommended if you enjoy trivia and are of course willing to donate any winnings to a local charity...)* Val always had a smile and a chat whilst Pete always had a one liner at the ready.
*Not compulsory
Over time we saw each other less and less as we both found spending time out and about more challenging, until I heard the news last Friday. RIP Val, it was lovely to know you. All my love to the Franklin family.
A life with MND, particularly when you are integrated with patient communities on line and in person, means that losing people is tragically a frequent occurrence. A consistent reminder of your own proximity to death.
So how to react to such sobering news on such a regular basis? I remember I am alive. I have opportunity. I love. I laugh, I strive, I experience. In Vals honour, in Robs honour, for all the fallen warriors I've lost along the way,
I will live the most significant life I can muster.
Nothing else matters

Doctor AGUNU herbal medicine is what I can only describe as a miracle, we came across a comment online about Doctor AGUNU and his natural herbal treatment, and we decided to contact him. Honestly, I was skeptical at first. We had already tried so many things that didn’t work, so we didn’t want to get our hopes up again. But something about the way he explained his approach, his professionalism, and his confidence gave us the strength to try once more and thank God we did now my wife is pregnant. To anyone out there going through a similar struggle don’t lose hope. Sometimes the answers we’re looking for come from natural healing and traditional wisdom. Doctor AGUNU, thank you for giving us this gift. May you continue to bring joy to families like ours with your amazing herbal remedies. God bless you abundantly! You can also contact him with his Email DOCTORAGUNUHOMEOFSOLUTION@GMAIL.COM or WhatsApp/call +2348114586550 and see the miracle for yourself.

Hello everyone,
I’d like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Jakuta, a powerful spell caster who helped me reunite with my ex-lover after a painful breakup. For six long months, I thought our relationship was over, but Dr. Jakuta’s spell brought us back together. Within 48 hours of the spell being cast, my ex reached out, apologizing for the hurt and promising to make amends. I was overjoyed and welcomed her back into my life. If you’re facing similar relationship challenges or other difficulties, I highly recommend contacting Dr. Jakuta. His spell casting abilities are truly remarkable.

MOST SUCCESSFUL BITCOIN RECOVERY EXPERT\\FOLKWIN EXPERT RECOVERY.
I have been hearing about Forexltc, a cryptocurrency platform based in North Dakota, for some time. My curiosity was piqued when one of their agents reached out to me, presenting the platform as a promising opportunity in the crypto trading space with excellent prospects for growth. Intrigued by their pitch, I engaged in several more calls and persuasive conversations, ultimately deciding to give it a try. I made an initial investment of $213,000 in cryptocurrency, believing it was a sound decision that would help grow my digital assets. However, my initial excitement quickly turned into frustration as I began to experience consistent trading losses. Determined to turn things around, I deposited an additional $9,000 in crypto after a few weeks, hoping this would help recover my losses. Despite my efforts and additional investments, the losses continued, leaving me in a precarious financial position. I felt trapped in a cycle of despair, questioning my decision to invest in Forexltc. I saw a glimmer of hope when I was assigned to a new account manager referred to as the “fourth account manager.” This individual seemed to have a better grasp of the cryptocurrency market and guided me to make some profitable trades. I felt a sense of relief, thinking my investment was finally paying off. However, just as I was about to celebrate my gains, an unexpected problem arose: I was locked out of my account. This was not a minor inconvenience; I was completely shut out of my funds and access to my trading portfolio. I tried reaching out to the support team at Fxleader, but my efforts were met with silence. My account was essentially inaccessible, and I was left in the dark about the status of my cryptocurrency. Feeling frustrated and desperate, I sought help from external sources. After conducting some research, I discovered FOLKWIN EXPERT RECOVERY, a service specializing in financial recovery. I reached out to them and explained my predicament. The team at FOLKWIN EXPERT RECOVERY was prompt and working diligently to help me retrieve my funds from Forexltc. They guided me through the recovery process, providing support and expertise every step of the way. One Friday morning, they asked for my Bitcoin address to deposit the cryptocurrency I had recovered. Thanks to their efforts, I was able to recover all of my cryptocurrency investments.
