She currently has two tattoos, one of three bats flying past the moon, and another of the cover of Bon Jovi's Have a Nice Day album. Esther is an enormous Bon Jovi fan and fulfilled a lifelong dream when she met the band earlier this year.

Esther's myspace page now online | A young mother from Hampshire is the newest face of a campaign to raise awareness of Motor Neurone Disease, a fatal condition that kills three people every day in the UK.
Esther Camp, 33, was diagnosed with MND four years ago and now has weak arms, legs and speech. Despite this, she remains determined to live life to the full, making her the perfect frontperson for the MND Association's Life Goes On campaign.
A poster featuring Esther will appear on the London Underground during December. In the meantime, you can find out more about her at her myspace page: www.myspace.com/lifegoesonesther. | | 11/21/2006 5:16:18 PM |

Rosie, Brian and Esther at the Houses of Parliament | The three "faces" of a campaign to raise awareness of Motor Neurone Disease were the guests of honour at a Parliamentary Reception.
The event was held by the All Party Parliamentary Group on MND in November to launch the MND Association Research Foundation, which is aimed at ending the disease through scientific research.
Rosie Fraser, Brian Wells and Esther Camp all attended the event, which attracted more than 40 MPs and Peers and representatives from the science community. They heard about the MND Association's plans to raise £15 million over the next five years to fund research towards finding a cure.
The three are the "faces" of the MND Association's Life Goes On campaign, launched in October to raise awareness of this devastating neurological condition, which kills three people every day in the UK.

Rosie goes Underground to show Life Goes On | A hard-hitting poster featuring a Suffolk woman with Motor Neurone Disease has been put up on the London Underground, to help raise awareness of this devastating condition.
Rosie Fraser, a 44-year-old mother of two, is one of the faces of the MND Association's Life Goes On campaign. The poster advert creates impact by subverting many people's perception of a link between diagnosis with a fatal disease and suicide.
Rather than contemplating ending it all, Rosie is shown making the most of life, overcoming her disability and terminal diagnosis to enjoy a day's sailing.

Brian writes his blog | Essex grandfather Brian Wells is writing a regular blog to keep people updated on his life with Motor Neurone Disease. Brian, 60, uses a wheelchair and cannot speak, after 10 years living with a slower-progressing form of MND.
In Brian's first blog entry, he gives his personal view on 2006, the year when he turned 60 and celebrated his 40th wedding anniversary. Writing from his farm near Chelmsford, Brian talks about life with MND, the swallows who visit his farm every year, and his grandchildren.
Brian is one of the faces of the Motor Neurone Disease Association's Life Goes On campaign, which aims to raise awareness of this devastating condition.
