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

I was really stressed by Acid reflux issues with my newborn and had consulted Chief Dr Guba. He gave us a thorough consultation and the medicines were equally effective. In a couple of weeks there was big improvement in my son and we are very pleased with the progress. We cannot thank Chief Dr Guba enough. Highly recommended an email via: drgubahealingherbs@gmail.com or WhatsApp: +2348162388034 or website: https://drgubahealingherbs.wixsite.com/guba-healing-herbs
I would want to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to Recovery Hacker101 for using their hacking expertise to assist my husband and me in recovering $345,000 worth of stolen cryptocurrency. We believed we would never get our money back from those fraudulent online investment websites, but they recovered over 98% of the total amount we lost, so I’m pleased I found them early. At first, I was skeptical, but it worked and we got our money back. (recoveryhacker101@gmail com).
A broker stole all of my trading money three months ago and refused to let me access my trading account. I was uncertain about my chances of receiving my money back. After speaking with RecoveryHacker101 Group, a certified binary options recovery specialist, I was able to receive my money back. They are knowledgeable professionals, and I am grateful for their assistance. You can contact them using the details below if you’re unsure of what to do next. In a few days, you will see the efforts they took to recover the money they stole from you. Recoveryhacker101@gmail.com is the email address to use.
