“What is MND? How does it impact our bodies? And - most importantly - what can we do in response?”

The Book

Diagnosed with motor neurone disease (MND) aged 45, a family man found himself facing a new reality and seemingly insurmountable odds.

Driven by defiance, Graham began a search for answers - what is MND, how does it affect our bodies, and, most importantly, what can we do in response?

Through physical changes and profound personal loss, he discovered the surprising connections between the mind, the body, hope and love.

Blending poignant reflections, scientific discoveries and practical insights, The 1% Chance charts the shaping, breaking and remaking of an ordinary person facing an extraordinary challenge.

This is not a cure or a protocol. Its a deeply personal memoir, a fresh perspective on MND and powerful call to change the way we think about health.

Available on Amazon:

“Having lived for spells without hope, and having experienced life with hope - even against long odds - I can tell you there’s nothing ‘false’ about it.”

Sample Chapter

“History is replete with remarkable stories of defiance - Davids who slew their Goliaths. These stories speak to something deep within the human spirit…the power of hope.”

Reader Review from Amazon:

Yes, there is hope!

Great read which I found accurately described the reality of diagnosis and really resonated with me. My research has led me to many of the same resources which Graham describes so eloquently. There is much that can be done to improve symptoms and quality of life, and it's disappointing that this is not generally acknowledged and supported.

Anyone in contact with MND patients should read this, and please stop the damaging, negative narrative.
