After being hit by a devastating motor neurone disease diagnosis, a Wexford couple have stepped up a gear to improve services for all sufferers of the debilitating disease by raising money for a charity to hire more expert nurses.

At present the Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association (IMNDA), has just four specialist motor neurone disease nurses across the country and is 80% supported by direct fundraising.
