A CAMPAIGN to double funding for motor neurone disease has been backed by former prime minister Gordon Brown.
Gordon Aikman, director of research at the pro-UK Better Together campaign, has launched a fightback plan after being diagnosed with the condition, which could leave him in a wheelchair by Christmas.
The campaigner said: "I'm 29 and I have been given a death sentence. Scientists may be far from a cure, but they know people with MND do not live long: half die within 14 months of diagnosis."
