    I dont mean to cause any offence to anybody but watching this makes me appreciate loosing my Dad when I did. On the 12th of February this year my dad was diagnosed with MND, on the 14th of February he suffered an MND related seizure, never regained consciousness and died on 16th of February. Now I dont want to sound disrespectful when I say this but after watching this and seeing what it has done to Rob in such a short space of time makes me feel a little relieved that I never had to see my Dad deteriorate to such a state. As I say I don't mean to cause any offence to anybody nor do I mean to be disrespectful. Here's hoping that one day soon we can find a cure for this horrible disease🤞🏼

      Steve, you spoke from your heart, rob has stayed with us longer than my wfe, diagnose in July 2018 with MND, in the 6 months we had left together, there was no time for anything, my head was buzzing at 90mph, i looked after my wife as best as i could, changes everyday, harder to eat, losing her voice, losing her strengh until i had to pick her up to get her into a wheel chair, to all those people commenting good or bad, they haven't a clue what its like for the sufferer or family, my wife passed away in her sleep 6 months from diagnoses.

    Just watched the Amazing Rob Burrows documentary and 😢emotional is not the word. This man is a true legend of Rugby league. I’m from Perth Australia and a huge West Tigers fan. The NRL family have raised loads of money for MND and I hope more people if possible can donate to this charity.
    From all the NRL family we send our love to the whole Burrows family and our hearts are with you ..!

    Lost my father to this disease 4 years ago - his death I could handle - watching the disease take a grip I couldn’t. When he eventually died as horrible as it sounds it was a huge relief knowing he wasn’t suffering no more. As harsh as it seems Rob has the hardest days to come - it broke my heart knowing what lies ahead for him and his family

I played rugby league for a year as a scrawny teenager, but couldn't take the pain and head knocks so gave up. Rob, who is much smaller than me, not only played for many years but did so magnificently at the highest level. Now, he is taking on, while putting himself aside for his love of others, the cruellest of diseases. An inspiration to all. 💪💙💛

      @nyx3967 2 месяца назад

      It's really complicated but here’s a simplified list of possible causes of MND. Genetics - Inherited mutations in specific genes.
      Environmental factors - Exposure to toxins, chemicals, or trauma.
      Age - Risk increases with age, typically between 40-70 years.
      Sex - Slightly more common in men than in women.
      Biological factors - Protein clumping, oxidative stress, mitochondrial issues, and glutamate toxicity.
      Unknown causes - Many cases have no clear cause identified.
