This is terrible news, especially in someone so young. All neurological diseases are very challenging as I know from personal experience with me and my wife, but MND has got to be the worst of them all. It is not just the physical aspects but also the emotional, mental and economic too. I hope Rob receives all the support he will undoubtedly need in the weeks and months ahead from his family, friends and the RL community. I wish him and his loved ones all the luck in the world.
My nephew taught Rob at secondary school in Leeds in Design and Technology and said he was always polite, respectful and hardworking. Top lad who doesn't deserve this news.
