Wicklow Resident Charlie Bird Receiving Hospice Care At Home

Charlie Bird has told how he is receiving Hospice care at home in his ongoing battle with motor neurone disease.

Outlining a worsening of his condition, the 73-year-old said: “Every day is a struggle for me now.

“But I live each day at a time. My MND has deteriorated, especially affecting my mobility.

“I want to make one thing very clear: when my time comes, I want to pass away at home surrounded by my family - and the Hospice care team say they will look after me there.”

He's grateful for the support he receives
