Abstract

It is with great sadness that I convey to you the passing of Dr Andrew Butcher. Andrew passed away peacefully on December 8 after suffering from the debilitating illness, MND. Despite the decline in his health over the last few years and dealing with the passing of Wendy, his wife, last year, Andrew remained very positive and continued to do as much as he could to catch up and celebrate life with friends, family and colleagues at every opportunity. His outlook on life was incredible right to the end.
