Music producer shares MND story in national awareness campaign
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 21 Oct, 14:02 · Archive
Steve Williams, a Wimbledon music producer who has worked with Sting and Eric Clapton, is the face of a national campaign raising awareness of motor neurone disease.
Steve Williams, a Wimbledon music producer who has worked with Sting, Eric Clapton and Lisa Stansfield, is one of the faces of the MND Association's Life Stripped Away awareness campaign. The campaign shares personal stories on billboards across England, Wales and Northern Ireland throughout October to highlight the daily realities of living with motor neurone disease.
Williams has lost much of his ability to play music due to MND. He first noticed symptoms in 2015 during a family holiday when he began biting his tongue while eating and speaking. After around 18 months of medical tests, he was diagnosed with the condition.
Williams said the campaign aims to build greater public understanding of the disease. 'I hope this campaign sees empathy and an understanding perspective,' he said. 'It makes for society to be a better place and me not to be quite as invisible. MND slows you right down and you have to reconsider everything you do.' The MND Association works across England, Wales and Northern Ireland to improve access to care, fund research and provide support to those affected by the disease.
