Two years ago yesterday, I was told I had 1-2 years to live and to get my affairs in order. That day something happened to me - I became more determined than ever! There is no way this horrible disease is going to beat me. 2 years on I'm more focused than ever.

- I've run out of superlatives to describe Kevin. Superhero, superhuman and friend. I'm just so proud of him for being with me from the start and by my side every step of the way. Thanks to everyone who supported him and donated. I had the best day, I hope you did too
- So sad to hear the news of the passing of my mnd hero Doddie Weir. I'm sorry to say, how many more warriors die before this stupid government give the 50m they said they would give. I'm absolutely gutted to see my friendly giraffe die. You are the reason for being so positive RIP
- It’s really hard to find the words to describe today & what it meant to me & my family. No day in my sporting life could ever come close to the feeling I had today. Privileged, honoured & completely blown away to name a few. RL is the greatest sport on earth & tonight showed why
