Hope in a pill

A few months ago Scott Sullivan was living the dream: 39-years-old, a senior banking executive, a beautiful wife and two gorgeous kids.

Now he's preparing to tell those kids he won't be around much longer. Because when he went to the doctors with a tingle in his arm he was delivered a bombshell.

MND, Motor Neurone Disease, no cure , no hope.

The mind continues to function perfectly while the body steadily shuts down. However Scott is an ordinary man with extraordinary strength and courage.

He's helping others by being part of an international clinical trial. It won't help Scott but it might , just might, help others.
