Portrait no.3 View this post on Instagram 3 of 26. Neicey Mann ( @neiceymann ) lives lives in Birmingham and created a private Facebook group for people with the rarest type of motor neurone disease, primary lateral sclerosis (PLS). Miles joined the group soon after he was diagnosed with PLS in 2013. “I didn’t want a distant relative going on an open Facebook group and saying about me ‘oh what a shame she’s incontinent and can’t have sex anymore’. Not that that’s happened! I still have sex but I fall off a lot now. Ha, ha! PLS causes us to fall over. I was a singer in a band. I fell off a stage when I was singing – right off the front – and told them that I had drunk too much to sound really rock and roll. But what a lie! I hadn’t had a drink all day – It was the PLS! The most upsetting thing about having MND is that I can’t wear high heeled shoes anymore. A couple of years ago I went shopping with my daughter and I saw a pair of shoes. I absolutely loved them and I put them on my feet and I just cried in the shop and went ‘I’ll never wear these shoes’. My daughter bought them for me and said ‘you can wear them on the settee’”. https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/26miles4mnd A post shared by 26miles4mnd (@26miles4mnd) on Aug 15, 2018 at 10:19pm PDT Advertisements Share this:TwitterFacebookLike this:Like Loading...
