Help us motor on with Motor Neurons

Blair, Brad and Verity are doing "dry July" but for a cause that's hitting closer to home, Motor Neuron's Disease. (story written by Verity, his daughter)

The picture of health, Dad is the guy fishing and hunting often alone, in his early 60's, working in the Hunting and Fishing store, taking guys half his age out for "walks", fitter than anyone we know, we started noticing little things like like slurred speech, then the weight loss, it took around 4 to 5 months of tests, doctors, specialist meetings before we got the diagnosis of Motor Neuron's Disease in August 2018.

We nearly lost him in November, he went in for a routine procedure, having a "peg" tube put in, to assist with food and medicine intake when things get worse. The op went off without incident, however is oxygen levels were not good, he slipped into a comer. All the doctors prepared us for the worst case scenario, I walk in expecting to turn off life saving measures.... He wakes up, an so they say, the story goes on.
