A simple family recipe is helping tell a powerful story this MND Awareness Month.

MasterChef star and MND Australia ambassador Steph De Sousa joined The Morning Show on Wednesday, preparing her late sister’s favourite apple sour cream slice, decorated with blue cornflowers to symbolise the resilience and strength of those impacted by Motor Neurone Disease.
