'I suppose you put on a brave face, but it is dreadful'
A Co Armagh mum of eight has opened up on the challenges facing her husband and family after he was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease at just 38.
They have started a fundraising page as it is unclear just how quickly Hugh's health might deteriorate and his work has already had to be curtailed. "I think it was just down to stress and knowing there was something wrong with daddy, now thankfully it's gone. "There's just a lot going on and we just want to say we're so grateful to anyone who has donated, it really is appreciated.
"Hugh himself would be very quiet and just try and get on with it, as he doesn't like people fussing," she added. "I know eventually when it does get to the stage where it gets worse, we'll probably end up having to go to America for treatment, because there's very little that they can do over here.She said the people around them have stepped up and are keen to help the family, which had been a great source of comfort.
