Motor neurone disease, which affects the brain and the nerves, has become more in focus in the public eye, with Professor Stephen Hawking, footballer Fernando Ricksen and rugby player Rob Burrow CBE among the public figures to share their diagnosis.
"He was an amazing man, not just for what he did in his rugby career, but all the amazing work he did to raise awareness and funds for MND," Nick said."He was a real inspiration for all of us living with the disease."
