We all want more people to be talking about motor neurone disease. 'Baker and the Beast' is an ABC Radio Life Matters 5 part series that first aired during August 2018. It is a no holds barred account of how one family and a community of friends are responding to a disease that has no cure. Mother of three, Cath Baker knows the beast that is motor neurone disease (MND). As a critical care nurse she’d seen what this disease did to her friend Angie Cunningham. Then, in the cruellest of coincidences, Cath too was diagnosed. You can read more or listen to/download the series here.
