Episode Details

A former shinty captain battling Motor Neurone Disease, Lachlan Campbell, has launched Mind Not Defeated — a grassroots fundraiser that keeps 95% of every donation going straight to families hit hardest by MND, rejecting traditional charity overhead. Already raising £40,000 and giving £10,000 to four families, he’s determined to one day donate 100% of funds. Diagnosed at 44, he kept it secret for years, fearing it’d hurt his self-employed joinery business — now he’s coaching juniors and inspiring others to live boldly. With speech challenges making grant applications tough, he’s turned his passion into action, even taking a 4-month European road trip with his wife — proving that even in the face of a terminal illness, life’s still worth living.
