June is National Awareness Month for Motor Neuron Disease and tomorrow, June 21st, is MND Global Awareness Day. 

The disease affects more than 400 families across Ireland and this weekend is not only an opportunity to spread awareness about the disease, but to also raise funds for essential services. 

But what is it like for someone living with the disease?

Michael Clancy joined Susan to discuss his experience and how his "glass half full" attitude helps to keep him focused on staying healthy, not just for himself, but for his family as well.
