Hi All,
Thanks for the continued support. The photo is of us getting ready to do some work on the book.
Below is a message from Del just updating everyone about how him and Emma are keeping, the progress of the book and his new football job.
I'd like to say a quick thanks to all the people who have contacted me about a request I put out on Facebook a week or so ago. Your help is really appreciated.
cheers Jerry :)
A message from Del:
"Hello everyone.
I've been keeping myself pretty busy recently. Em and I had a week's holiday down in Cornwall, the weather did it's best to dampen it but we still had a nice time.
The book looks like it's going to be written up by our deadline of August 25th. Jerry has been talking with MND experts and sufferers and we have some very interesting information for the book's chapter looking at a possible link between football and developing MND.
Also Jay Demerit of Watford FC has very kindly agreed to provide one of the forewords for the book. Jay's a great lad who I have known for a few years. He's probably my coaching claim to fame - I recommended him to Ray Lewington when he was Watford's manager and Jay hasn't looked back since. He deserves every bit of his success.
We are also hoping Gazza and Nicky Barmby will contribute to the book.
On the subject of the book I'm now putting together a list of possible photos to use in it. Does anyone have any photos of me, especially old school ones? If you do and you could send them over to me that would be fantastic. The address is jerrylyons207@hotmail.co.uk
An article about our work on the book has appeared in this month's Thumb Print magazine which is sent out to people with MND. Here's a link to the document.
Health wise I'm feeling ok but my arms get so tired now. I'm finding it harder and harder to drive but have to keep going because Em and I need every penny we can get at the moment.
My new role as Enfield Town's joint manager is going well. I had some real fears before taking the job along with my mate Steve Newing but it's turning out well and keeps my mind off of my illness.
The lads at the club have been brilliant. I think they already understand that while the disease means I struggle to move about my brain is still sharp and I'd like to think they respect my knowledge of the game I love. I'm really looking forward to the challenge of the new season.
Thanks for reading and make the most of now."
