‘Life goes on, every case is different' — how one of Ireland's top chefs is living with motor neurone disease
Chef Gearóid Lynch wants people to know that there is hope after diagnosis
I'm invited to a party in October. It is a very special party which will mark three years since chef patron Gearóid Lynch, of the Olde Post Inn in Cloverhill, Co Cavan, was first diagnosed with motor neurone disease (MND) and was told, somewhat starkly, that he 'had three years'.
Commonly known as the disease of 1,000 days, Gearóid wants people to know this is not the case for everyone. There is hope, there is life after diagnosis, for MND is an unpredictable condition that affects people in different ways, and he has every intention of celebrating life far beyond that time.
