I want to be honest my MND is getting worse, I cannot walk any longer unless I have a walking stick. But other things are deteriorating as well.. But I keep promising while I have a breath in my body I am going to continue to extend the hand of you all.

Please please spread the word about the Elephant in the room project. It is all about mental health. I was so honoured that President Michael D signed the Elephant for the Samaritans and for me. There will be twenty elephants and hopefully this project will raise lots of money.
