Mark spent 17 years serving in the army, including teaching jungle warfare in Brunei and running ultra-marathons. In 2021, Mark was diagnosed with motor neurone disease (MND), and life changed dramatically.

Now living in Bournemouth, Mark shares the daily challenges of living with MND, from adapting his home and using specialist equipment to maintaining the independence that means so much to him. He also reflects on the importance of timely support, family, and connecting with others who understand life with MND.

"You aren't alone. There are people out there who can help."

Read Mark's story on the Story Hub and learn how support from the MND Association and military charities has helped him adapt to life with MND: https://t.co/9As9u4rwc8

[🇫🇷 version FR👇] Earth 🌍 from orbit during the #εpsilon mission – To make it easier for spacecraft to rendezvous and dock, the @Space_Station is sometimes rotated into a specific attitude… and that changes our perspective on Earth quite a bit!

Here’s a timelapse shot during one of these “XVV transition”, where the Station's X-axis is aligned with its velocity vector.

La Terre 🌍 vue depuis l’orbite pendant la mission #εpsilon – Pour faciliter le rendez-vous et l’amarrage des vaisseaux, la Station est parfois orientée différemment… ce qui nous donne une autre perspective sur la Terre !

Voici un timelapse réalisé pendant l’une de ces « transitions XVV », lorsque l’axe X de la Station est aligné avec son vecteur vitesse.

Plus, I’ve seen the modern Ford Capri, it’s not worthy of the name, looks nothing as cool as the original Ford Capri!

Although my Dad had to get rid of his, two kids and prams did not quite fit so we ended up with a trusty Ford Escort that was handed to my Brother years later!

[Greg Broadhurst @GregBroadhurst]

Scrap the daft rules completely!

I’ve been of the view that there should never have been any decision to ban new cars on Petrol / Diesel. Consumers can decide the market.

I personally could not drive an EV, too much of a petrolhead family for those!

No idea who it is, but when walking today through my area of Stockport, had a Ford Fiesta ST pass by.

Must be a @jaffacakes fan lives near, with their Jaffa ST!

Either that or some brilliant promo from @McVities in the town they are made. Coolest car in Bramhall today!

🍻 MANCHESTER PUBS

A proper Manchester pub has character. Good beer, a bit of history and a story or two.

But which ones make your list?

If you had to choose your TOP 5 Manchester pubs of all time, which would make the cut?

Old favourites, hidden gems, traditional boozers or modern classics.

Industrial heritage, historic railway arches and canal boats — a reminder of the city's working past and the character that still makes this area special.

[MND Association @mndassoc]

Today, Secretary of State for Health and Social Care @YvetteCooperMP spoke about our ongoing work with the Department of Health and Social Care (@DHSCgovuk) to develop a fast-track care and support pathway for people living with MND.

People with MND often face long waits for the care and support they need, so it's encouraging to hear this commitment reaffirmed today.

We will continue to push for these changes to be introduced as quickly as possible, so people affected by MND can access the support they need without delay.

Little away day (technically evening!) as @FCUnitedMcr play @CurzonAshton

When Lindsay was diagnosed she felt overwhelmed. Thanks to support from people like you, her family was able to receive support and guidance from the MND Association. 🧡

@ParalympicsGB Full set from Deleter can be found on YouTube, thanks to Huw, one of our CYCM volunteers.

https://t.co/VI9JHPAZG7

Really enjoyed the set, reminded me a little sound wise of The Battery Farm, another local band found at @FCUnitedMcr club in the afternoon.

[Greg Broadhurst @GregBroadhurst]

Glorious Manchester Sunshine in Moston!

@FCUnitedMcr vs @LancasterCityFC at Broadhurst Park!

Roll on 3pm, but first under the SMRE for the pre match CYCM and a pint!

[FC United of Manchester 🟥⬜⬛ @FCUnitedMcr]

⚽️ MATCHDAY!

We close out a busy week at Broadhurst Park with the visit of @LancasterCityFC!

Kick-off is at 3pm, with a packed afternoon in store, so get yourself to that football ground!

#WeAreStrongerUnited

[Greg Broadhurst @GregBroadhurst]

And a little bit of todays Band, Deleter!

Plus we also had two of @ParalympicsGB give us a talk on their stories, excellent from Amy and Gregg.

Bands sounds decent, a little bit like The Battery Farm in sound (great band!)

The one night of a year I dread being outdoors.

Love fireworks, but my airways are not a fan of the smoky air!

Realised Asthma and Bonfire smoke do not mix well at a very young age. Some of the neighbourhood where we live do great fireworks, and I can safely watch from indoors!

[Asthma + Lung UK @asthmalunguk]

Living with a lung condition? We want to help you feel prepared this bonfire night.
