Aughavas man Andy McGovern has re-released his inspiring book ‘Against The Odds’ in time for Christmas.

The publication documents how Andy, who was diagnosed with Motor Neuron Disease (MND) almost 40 years ago, lives and deals with the disease. Andy wrote the book with the help of voice recognition technology. He operated the computer mouse by foot.
