Most people know Lou Gehrig’s famous words from his 'Luckiest Man' speech. Days after his ALS diagnosis, Lou stood before a packed stadium, too weak to hold his trophies but still strong enough to lift others up with gratitude. He’s the reason we choose to Live Like Lou. 💙

Eric was diagnosed with MND/ALS on the 7th July 2010. He was 44. A strong, fit man until in 2009 he noticed weakness in his left hand. It took 9 mths to diagnose + Eric had self diagnosed months beforehand once he’d noticed the fascinations in his arm. Picture taken Aug 2010.

Aug 2010. This was our penultimate holiday to our beloved Cornwall. Eric had just received the diagnosis that he had MND/ALS. We lived every moment of that holiday with every fibre of our souls. When we went to bed at night we held each other and cried. Knowing what lay ahead.
