An ex-Premier League football player has spoken of how he is living with a "brutal disease" with a "terrible prognosis".
Stephen Darby, 31, retired last year after being diagnosed with motor neurone disease (MND).
Darby, who started his career with Liverpool before playing for Bradford, wants to raise money for more research into the disease.
The 31-year-old is supported by his wife Steph Houghton, who is captain of the England women's football team.
Darby announced his retirement and revealed his condition in September 2018.
"Life expectancy is normally two to five years, a third of people die within a year. That's obviously quite tough. It's quite brutal," he said.
Darby described the diagnosis as a "shock" and said it was "quite tough to take on board" but he is now determined to raise funds for the Darby Rimmer MND Foundation.

A dementia-friendly opera performance has taken place after the cast, crew and staff received specialist training.
Image source, Richard H. SmithOpera North said its matinee performance of Puccini's La Bohème at Leeds Grand Theatre was the first of its kind in England.
It was performed in full with reduced lighting and noise and with low-level light in the auditorium.
The theatre also adopted "a relaxed approach" to audience members moving around during the show.
La Bohème was chosen for the special performance as it is comparatively short and contains sections that the audience might recognise, said Opera North.
The performance included an introduction to the opera from the stage and a recap after the interval.
Other changes included covering some of the mirrors in the toilets, a longer interval, additional staff on duty and a quiet room for opera-goers who needed a break.

Image source, North Yorkshire PoliceLatvian-born Pavels Zuravskis, 27, was tracked down yesterday and is being brought back under police escort.
Officers say he sexually assaulted a woman in Malton in 2015, but left the country before he could be jailed.
He was sentenced to two and a half years in his absence and placed on the sex offenders' register.
The North Yorkshire force says when he appears in front of a court, he will be jailed for his original sentence and could face further prison time for absconding.
Det Insp Eamonn Clarke, said: "One of the worst things about this case is the additional anguish and upset Zuravskis has caused to his victim by going on the run.
“I hope his capture provides some closure for her."

CCTV images have been released of a man suspected of stabbing a 21-year-old man after an argument in Leeds.
Image source, West Yorkshire PoliceThe victim was taken to hospital for a cut to his side, police say.

Plans to create a lagoon on the Humber Estuary to protect Hull from tidal flooding have been revealed.
Image source, Lagoon HullLagoon Hull, the firm behind the idea, claimed it would protect people living and working across the region from the worst effects of climate change.
The £1.5bn project would also feature a new relief road on the edge of the lagoon, running for 11km (6.8 miles) from Hessle foreshore to Victoria Dock, to help reduce congestion.
Project director Paul Hatley said the team behind the plan had spent several years researching the benefits and had collected enough evidence to justify Lagoon Hull being looked at by central government.
"All indications are that it would fully protect Hull from tidal flooding now and in the future and would hugely reduce the effects of tidal flooding on other areas of the estuary, including the south bank," he said.
Hull has been claimed to be the most vulnerable city in the UK to coastal flooding and rising sea levels after London.
