Summary

Helen Casey-MacDuff shares her husband Myles’ courageous battle with Motor Neurone Disease, a cruel condition with no cure that steals strength, speech, and breath—two New Zealanders diagnosed and two lost each week. Once a powerhouse builder and rugby player, Myles faced gradual decline with grace, humor, and unwavering love for his family. His final years in Ngātea brought unexpected comfort from a tight-knit community. This June, join the fight: MND Action Month rallies support through events like Bunnings barbecues, reminding us that no one should face this disease alone.
