 About Me
Born 1949. Diagnosed with Progresive Muscular Atrophy in 1999. I have been a keen sportsman all my life. Two grown up children and just the one (indispensable) wife. I stopped working (as a Computer Consultant) in October 2003 and have been on many holidays since then. I feel very fortunate in having PMA rather than MND/ALS. I believe in being positive and look forward to the future. I am still able to walk although I have to be careful. My arms and hands are very weak so I can only manage low rather than high fives.
