But, despite it being eight years since his ALS/Motor Neuron Disease diagnosis, he left on his own terms and in a good place.

The article in the current mag is a great advert for making the most of the time you have. Happy trails, Colin. And love to all his family and friends.

As above, I really appreciated the article in the latest mag. Condolences to those who knew him, a great contributor to MTB through his images.

Ah man, I read the article a few days ago. Lovely piece about who was obviously a lovely and cool fella. His photos are stunning.

Great bit of education about ALS there too. I hope the "trigger event" stuff he spoke about is thoroughly researched.

Damn. I read the article last week and felt like a total moron with my own "problems" which are so insignificant by contrast. His resilience and attitude were amazing.ย 

It's just so unfair sometimes 😭.
