Nicki’s Fight: The MND Warrior

Nicki’s Fight: The MND Warrior

Nick opens up about his wife Nicki’s fight with motor neurone disease, a journey that started with a misdiagnosis and led them through a maze of a broken healthcare system. Nicki’s spirit never wavered - she planned her own funeral and dreamed up MND warrior t-shirts, her way of staying fierce and independent even as her body failed her.

We talk about the weight of caregiving, the little signs that keep Nicki’s presence alive for Nick, and the memorial tattoo that brought him to BrumYODO where we met. Through the grief, bureaucratic headaches, and kindness from the Matt Gallagher Foundation, Nick’s honesty about love, loss, and finding community feels like a warm light in the dark.
