Project For Awesome 2011 - Motor Neurone Disease

[raftsr2]

Ah how moving Connor : )

[grangrangran]

My uncle died from this in 2009 as well. He diagnosed himself long before he told anyone, so from when we all knew until he died took 18 months. It went insanely quickly after the first really serious symptoms set in. Inability to walk, talk and breathe without machines, all within half a year after he got a second crutch for walking. One of the hard things about the disease is that the deterioration is so quick, that every visit shows something new, but it is such a slow and torturous death.

My grandad had this & like what you said it was terrible for him not being able to do the things he loved like going to watch the local football team play (he used to manage them) & all that, thank you for raising awareness about this

I'm so sorry about your nana, Conor. That's very sad and you're right: cruel, too. Awesome/amazing video, though, my friend. Well done! Brilliant! "Liked" and favourited!

I started tearing up, though, I admit it. Because of what happened to your nana and because of how awesome/touching this video is. Someone we both sort of know told once told me that they got freaked out when I admitted to crying but I think it's perfectly normal and healthy, too. I hope you don't mind.

[phexid4real]

Great video Conor, way to take a stand for something you believe in. Great cause if I don't say so myself.

[The98Funnyman]

My Father passed away from that illness 4 years ago. It wasn't until he was diagnosed with it that I actually heard of it. And your right. It's a cruel sneaky merciless disease.

[MrConConsftw]

@The98Funnyman It's the same with me. I hadn't heard of the illness until diagnosis, at which point I wanted to attempt to help raise awareness.

You are awesome Conor, you really are. Thank you for doing this, all of your videos are great, and you deserve every success in all you do :)

[AdenCrockerTV]

isn't this what stephen hawking has?

[Rarachee]

You've done a really good job presenting the information about it and helping people become more aware, well done. :3

[IanDigs]

Is it OK if I post this on my web site m8?

[MrConConsftw]

@IanDigs Yeah Ian, I would be honoured. :)

[IanDigs]

Unfortunately I know only to well about this horrible disease, my best friend and co-worker developed it and in 2 years he went from a rugby playing, life loving family man to an almost vegetable like state. It was so hard for him and everyone near to him to deal with his sudden changes and he eventually passed away on Christmas eve 2000.

You are doing an awesome job by promoting awareness of this nasty, sneaky disease. Thumbs up m8!

[IronRyan66]

Well done talking about this, it's brillIant if people become more aware :)

[LMNOP1214]

DFTBA. Great video. Sorry for your loss, even if it was two years ago.

[2211stegre]

Very well done, if it achieves one more person becoming aware then thats the main thing.

[itsCARLDOUGLAS]
