Neil, Louise & Oscar Platt.
A bit of background
Neil Platt and Louise Noble became Mr & Mrs Platt in November 2004 narrowly missing the Tsunami on their honeymoon in Sri Lanka.
After living and working in London for the next couple of years, the couple bought their first home together soon before the arrival of Oscar in August 2007.
Towards the end of 2007 Neil noticed that he was losing the power in one toe on his right foot. By Christmas he had started to use a stick to help him whilst walking. In the months following he went through a series of tests to discount any other cause of his symptoms and was finally diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease in February of 2008.
Neil and Louise started writing this blog in July 2008 to keep all of their friends and family informed about how they were getting on and also in the knowledge that documenting the progress of Neil’s condition as openly as possible would help to promote an awareness of MND and could also help other sufferers of this awful disease.
Neil and Louise are now on a mission to raise as much public awareness of Motor Neurone Disease as they can in the hope of raising funding for research into its causes and the search for a cure. You can see some of the press coverage by clicking on “Media“.
