Stephen Darby update at the 5-year-mark:

Still very positive. And he was only 29 when diagnosed, so, extremely young. The younger you are, the slower MND seems to move.

He went on Holiday with his wife to Abu Dhabi a few weeks back. Obviously still fit enough to travel and cope with it all.

Finnish politician Antero Laukkanen makes one last appearance at parliament, short of breath with what seems to be a mobility scooter next to his chair but still able to talk quite clearly.

 

Another politician with ALS is Torao Tokuda, had it for around a decade now if he hasn't died off-radar sometime recently.

Antero Laukkenen in hospice now.

Darby in a video here. Now mostly wheelchair bound and definitely struggling to speak now. I think he'll still see 2025, but he's clearly on the downhill slope.

Rob Burrow has been ‘surprised’ with his CBE by the Prince of Wales.

 

The fact they have presented the medal so quickly suggests it’s not just for the Facebook likes…

[DCI Frank Burnside 2,670]

Yep just like when Deborah James got her DBE so soon after she was awarded and she died a few weeks later

John Adams, MND sufferer and fundraiser, under hospice care: 

Probably FFBI, so not sure he'd qualify for the Cup or other pools. BBC have covered him in the past: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hereford-worcester-65532884

He was behind the quote in my DDP name, clearly famous enough

He met Princess Anne yesterday at an event. Still well enough then to go out in Public.

Stewart looks alright, Darby wheelchair bound... Rob Burrow - looks utterly terrible. I'd be shocked if he makes it to 2025.
