Short video by Maddog and his campaign.

Heartbreaking video... Im sure the board and club are getting behind the campaign, and I hope the rest of the clubs do.

watched the vid, sad to see Mark's speech very slightly impaired but great to see him in otherwise good shape....the man is a legend and a hero...what we couldn't do with a mad-dog in our side right now.....

I'd love to do something more than just share the MND posts on facebook etc but Mark says it's all about spreading the word and awareness....

It would be great to see folk taking on the crossbar challenge and posting vids on the MND site......

Thats just smashed all my feelings about last Saturday to pieces. Football isn't a matter of life or death, no matter how upset it makes us. This video puts everything into perspective. Its great to see Mads is still actively fighting MND and raising awareness for the cause. A very upsetting video, but truly inspirational in what Mark is trying to do.

It's fantastic that the club agreed for the video to be done there, and a great photo of the playoff final with Maddog in the centre.

All the best Mads. We're all praying for you mate.

100% legend.

That video is incredible. Had a little cry in work.

Good Luck to Maddog with this campaign and I'm sure everyone involved with the club will help in any and every way they can.

Forget last Saturday, it becomes totally irrelevant when you hear Mark.

That was emotional, a true alty legend! Wore the shirt with so much pride, another bucket collection must be on the cards. Also I must say I liked seeing mr heathcote in the changing room! Another alty legend, both player and manager could get a team up for it! Not like this bloody squad!

A friend of mine lost her husband last week - he had MND. That and Mark's video puts everything else into the severest of perspectives for me. All possible power to you, MadDog!
