RICHARD Selley, featured on the front cover, died on Friday, September 6, at the Dignitas clinic in Zurich. It was an honour to campaign with Richard. His intellect, wit and compassion shone, even as his body faded. As Richard’s motor neurone disease (MND) progressed he lost many things – the ability to walk, to talk, to eat, to even push his glasses up his nose. But one thing that remained was his powerful ability to express his thoughts, feelings and beliefs through his writing.
