A community has turned out in droves in support of their long-time GP after he was diagnosed with motor neurone disease.

Dr Bryn Parry has practised in Devonport, Tasmania, for over 30 years but learnt of his condition last September.

He says he’s been touched at the way the town turned out to an event in his honour last Sunday, attended by around 2000 locals.

“To me it was a powerful statement of goodwill. It was very humbling,” Dr Parry told 6minutes.
