Steadfast, he said: 'I'm a fighter, to be honest. I might not be able to tackle MND but I'll certainly be swinging, I'm not going to give in, not until my last breath.As footage of his family and close friends was shown on the screen reacting to his words, he says: 'I hope I have left a mark on this disease. I hope you choose to live in the moment. I hope you find inspiration.
The campaigner said in a flashback to when he was younger: 'The guys always seemed to be a lot lot bigger than me. It inspired me to be more determined.' He added: 'I have had such a great life. I have been gifted with the most incredible wife and three children. I hope they know how much I love them.'
'The first time I stood him up, a shy teenage girl, but we went to the pictures the second time and the rest is history.'I remember that moment being told it's not good news. Asking how long and them saying two years. Rob said thank god it's me and not the kids. That's all he was bothered about.
