Motor Neurone Disease, fighting it together.

Hello, my name is Lesley Roberts and my husband Christopher, who was a farmer, was diagnosed with MND on May 5th 2014, sadly he lost his courageous fight with this awful disease on September 5th 2015. I wrote this blog to ,share our journey as a family with this disease, the good days and the the bad days and hope to raise awareness of MND in the process.

No.136. 'The Theory of Everything'

Just had to write a little review about this.

'The Theory of Everything', the film about Professor Stephen Hawking, was an extremely emotional film for us, especially Chris. So much of it hit home, it showed the reality of today and the reality of what is to come and we both spent a great deal of the film in tears.

Beyond that though it is a film about love, loyalty and fortitude. It is about never giving up and living the best life that you can with whatever has been dealt your way. More than anything though I came away with a new admiration for the man this film was about. Not only is Professor Hawing a pretty darn clever man, he also has a wonderful sense of humour and I would like to think that the twinkle in his eye will never leave him.

The acting is incredible and Eddie Redmayne deserves an Oscar for his portrayal of someone with MND. I would thoroughly recommend watching it. It was worth the tears to taste the inspiration and hope this film portrays.
