Viewers saw how motor neurone disease can impact the body in the recent BBC documentary Rob Burrow: Living with MND. On Tuesday, October 18, Burrow tweeted, “I hope that the message gets across tonight. I’m not going to keep anything back and I’m going to let you inside my day. I’m quite proud of everything my family has given up for me because it affects the whole family.”
Burrow believes his documentary will serve as a “beacon of hope” for other families going through a similar scenario, despite the fact that he can no longer walk or talk without the aid of a machine. He said confidently, “I love my wife and kids more than anything, and that will make me more determined to be alive. Burrow responded, “I’m not thrilled to talk about this,” when his doctor pressed him about hospice palliative care.
A motor neurone condition
The ailment manifests itself when the motor neurones in the brain gradually quit reaching the muscles, according to the Motor Neurone Disease Association. As a result, the muscles get weaker, stiffer, and waste away, which has an impact on how a person moves, speaks, eats, drinks, and breathes.
While Rob Burrow was out for dinner, his wheelchair-accessible van was vandalised.
Rob Burrow was out with his family for Christmas dinner when his mobility van was vandalised by thugs. Geoff Burrow, the father of Burrow, tweeted the information. At the most recent gala honouring the 2022 sports personality of the year, the athlete later took home the Helen Rollason Award.
Geoff went into great detail about the vandalism and called the perpetrator “scum of a guy.” He said that when the harmful act was committed, some yobs were out for a lunch at Rockello’s in Glasshoughton Castleford with him and his family, including his son.
While there is no timescale on till when Burrow will survive, he was given two years to live three years back but is still fighting the disease. He has said he wants to live till his children grow up.
His story is one of courage and never giving up, he says: “I’m a prisoner in my own body, that’s the way MND gets you, the lights are on, but no one’s home. I think like you, but my mind doesn’t work right. I can’t move my body.”
