Sir, – On occasion, in desperate times, somebody notable and extraordinary steps up to the plate.
Like Lou Gehrig before him, Colm Murray, RTÉ sports broadcaster suffering with motor neurone disease did just that ( Mind: the Inside Track, RTÉ 1, January 23rd).

He opened by stating he was making the film and participating in medical trials to "Do some public service". A rare, admirable, and decent individual. – Yours, etc,
