He advises people to stay positive and get in touch with any organisation which can offer help and support.

 



I would make one point. It's people who are suffering from this, I would say to them is, stay positive. Get in touch with all, anyone you can, like Social Services, the council, Motor Neurone Disease. They're all a great help. Anything you want, they'll help you. Because there's no point just sitting at home and thinking, “Okay, I've got this. I don't want to know anyone else. I don't want to get in touch with anyone.” Just stay positive. I think you'll live longer.
