Connie Passmore died three weeks before her 60th birthday
A woman from Edinburgh is going to climb Ben Nevis in memory of her mother, who tragically died just days after a devastating motor neurone disease diagnosis. Connie Passmore passed away just three weeks before her 60th birthday, on April 2, 2018.
The mum-of-two's condition continued to deteriorate, with no clear idea of what was causing the issues. She began to struggle eating and walking upstairs, regularly becoming breathlesss. Holly, who now works for brain health company, Heights, was studying at the University of Strathclyde at the time.
Holly continued: “I don’t think either me or Jack had ever heard of MND before then. I can remember my dad asking us if we knew who Stephen Hawking was before explaining that unfortunately, unlike Stephen Hawking who was a rare case that lived for decades, if it was indeed MND, that our mum might not have a lot of time left. We finally understood why she was receiving those antibody tests.”
