man, at least it was quick.

 

I know people who have suffered so much through a very long period (years) because of that terrible disease.

There's a British documentary about an English rugby player who has ALS / MND / Lou Gehrig Disease (if you want to know all the disease's names).

It's brilliant TV but it's very tough to watch it.

Astonishingly the 3rd sports star to die of the same disease in 5 days.

Was a member of the 1991 Grand Slam winning team, who are legends of Scottish sport, hugely more famous than any other rugby team.
