I am from Pudsey but live in Amalfi in Italy. My husband's nephew has MD. He is in the same position as Rob Burrow, 3 young children and a wonderful wife. He is confined to his bed and obviously gets very depressed. He is one of the nicest people I know and was always ready to help people in every way. Now hardly anyone goes to visit him, they all use the horrible excuse, I want to remember him as he was. He is still alive and able to communicate, smile and give advice. I used to make films when we used to go on holiday and had a lot of films of when he was young. I put them on you tube with music I know he likes, and he loves watching them. We live 1hour 20 mins from him but for me and my husband, it is the best part of our week when we go and see him.
