I wonder if @Springboks ' and @SaleSharksRugby 's Faf de Klerk ever thought he'd be wearing the No 9 of late, great #rugby 🏉 legend, Joost van der Westhuizen, when this photo was taken! #RSAvENG #MND #MoreNeedsDoing !

William: “Is there anything you specifically want people to know about #MND ?” Rob: “ #MND is not incurable, it's just been underfunded. Doddie Weir showed us the way. Hopefully through our campaigning we've helped to make people aware and given people affected by #MND some hope.”

#MyTwitterAnniversary I've been raising awareness of motor neuron disease on #twitter for 1⃣3⃣ years! I lost my lovely Dad to merciless #MND in 2005 😢. There is still far too much ignorance of this cruel killer and I will never stop banging the #MND drum! #MoreNeedsDoing !
