Motor Neurone Disease (MND) patient and campaigner, Gordon Aikman, lost his battle with the illness at the age of 31.

Soon after his diagnosis, he founded Gordon's Fightback, a campaign  to lobby for better care for people with the condition.

Gordon was a Trustee of MND Scotland and raised over £500,000 for MND Scotland to invest in vital research that is helping take us a step closer to finding a cure.

Gordon worked closely with MND Scotland and key organisations, such as the Scottish Government, to ensure his campaign asks were met:

• Pay MND nurses from the public purse
• Double the number of MND nurses
• Guarantee MND patients a voice
• Pay carers a Living Wage
• Double MND research
• Fast-track benefits
• Outlaw care charges
