MOTOR NEURONE DISEASE…………..MOTOR WHAT?
As this podcast is generously supported by MOTOROLA, it’s interesting to learn the a ‘motor” prefix does not always mean an ‘efficient driving apparatus”.
In the case of Motor Neurone Disease (MND) it means anything BUT this. This week I interview Rod Harris, Cheif Executive Officer of the Motor Neurone Disease Association. Rod is a funny, outspoken and very clever guy who shares wirh us the ’story’ of MND (or ALS as it is called in the U.S).
What is MND/ALS?
How do you know if you’ve got it?
What is the treatment?
What does it mean for your future?
Rod talks also about his relationship mentoring the newly formed MND Association in Mongolia and how organisations are working together world wide to promote awareness and support research into this debilitating, life limiting illness.
So each time you run, jump, dance or skip………….sing, talk or breathe………….spare a thought for people living with MND/ALS and don’t take your ability to do all these things for granted!
Music for this program ” Morning Groove” was provided by my friend and fellow host Ian Dixon. Interview recorded on Skylook and sponsored by MOTOROLA…………….DUDE!
