Stand With Jill: Strength for her journey with Motor Neurone Disease

Dear family, friends and colleagues of Jill,

Many of you may already know about Jill’s devastating diagnosis of Motor Neurone Disease, a terminal condition for which there is no treatment. It is progressively affecting her speech, eating, breathing and mobility.

Alongside these frightening health challenges, the practical consequences are significant. Jill is no longer able to do the work that has brought her so much joy and fulfilment, and John has reduced his hours substantially to support her. For them and their children, the future they had hoped and planned for together is no longer the one ahead of them.

While they will receive support for some of their medical needs, they are now navigating what life looks like with increasing demands on their time, energy and financial resources. For now, they are focused on special family time to ‘bank’ important memories.

Jill has impacted so many of our lives, professionally and personally, and many of us are wondering how to show our care in a meaningful way. This page has been set up to help do that. Any contributions will go towards enabling special family times together, ongoing living costs, and future medical expenses as Jill’s care needs increase.

Please use this link to access a dedicated fund for them. I know how much Jill, John, Kirsten, Christopher and Courtney (her daughter in law) will deeply appreciate any support you are able to offer.

Thank you

Heather xx
