Spotlight on members of our community living with neuromuscular conditions: Brendan O’Connell

Over the coming months we’re sharing spotlights on individual members of our community who are living with a variety of neuromuscular conditions. We began on Rare Disease Day, 29 February, to draw attention to the fact that rare disease isn’t just for one day. By sharing individual stories and information on their conditions, we want to raise awareness about the many neuromuscular conditions experienced by the diverse members of our community to whom MDI offers support.
