Stephen Hawking - Words to Live By

"It’s hard to fathom the depths of thought Stephen Hawking must have achieved, and it makes me wonder if it’s a coincidence that one of the most powerful minds of our time also achieved such incredible longevity in his battle with MND.

While the fundamental nature of the universe might be outwith my comprehension, I wanted to explore what lessons his words and life might offer me when it comes to MND. Here are some quotes by Professor Hawking, and the lessons I’ve learned from them…"

'Cultivate' is a place to explore themes of hope and wellness in MND. What is MND? How does it affect us? What can we do in response?

The show is hosted by Graham Dargie, who was diagnosed with MND in 2023. He instinctively refused to accept the established narratives around the disease and turned his experience into a mission to explore hope, resilience and wellbeing.

If you’re walking a similar path - looking for hope, strength, answers, or simply an ally who understands what you’re going through - this show is for you.
