Includes Steve Evans, who is trialling a new invention for people with motor neurone disease which means he controls his wheelchair with his eyes and can play with his sons again.
The remarkable and heartwarming story of Steve Evans. He's a dad with 14 year old triplet boys from Surrey who was diagnosed with the muscle wasting illness Motor Neurone Disease in 2007. Since then he's lost the ability to speak and move -- but now thanks to a new invention which he's been testing, he's able to control his wheelchair using eye control. It led to a magical moment a few weeks ago, when he plugged a foam dart gun into his wheelchair, and played with his boys for the first time in seven years. We hear from him, his wife and his three boys.
