'Professor Justin Yerbury was a Eureka Prize winning molecular biologist at the University of Wollongong and a world leader in motor neurone disease research. He started his scientific career after losing several family members to MND and discovering that his family carried a rare genetic form of the disease. Justin began experiencing symptoms himself in 2016 and was 99% paralysed, only able to communicate using eye-gaze technology, but he continued to search for a cure. He lived in Wollongong with his wife, and his two adult daughters lived close by.' (https://affirmpress.com.au/publishing/fighting-fate/?portfolioCats=15)
