Adelaide grandfather with motor neurone disease urges expansion of support – ABC News
An Adelaide grandfather with months left to live calls on the South Australian Government to provide greater support for motor neurone disease sufferers.
Graham Johnson has only months left to live but wants to use the time he has to secure better support for others like him.
Key points:
- People over 65 years old are not eligible for NDIS money
- Charities help older motor neurone disease sufferers but do not receive ongoing funding
- There are calls for the State Government to do more to help
The Adelaide grandfather was diagnosed with a type of motor neurone disease (MND) last year but, because of his age, still considers himself among the luckier ones.
