It's good Alan, thanks for putting the words on the page too. I thought I was only one that gave my wheelchairs names.. I called my mobility scooter Betsa after a camper van my dad used to have that also chugged up hills slowly and rattled your bones about.. lol And my first leccy chair I nicknamed 'Toto' as first time i ever took it out shopping i ran over a guys toes reversing out of the lift!

Why did you call yours Loamie?

HI Alan. I`ve just seen your "DIGITAL STORY". Im 61 years old and have had C-A practically all my life and fully endorse your attitude on not letting it run ones life. I`ve never let it run or ruin my life either. I do however believe in accepting it,this allows me to disregard it and get on with living my life as well as possable. Ive still got a lot of life to live after all. (even at my age) Stay positive Alan you realy do have many years of life ahead of you .HAPPY DAYS ALAN. BILL (William Phillips)

Thanks for posting this Ben.

And thanks Alan!

The write up and video piece are very good. They are informative, very well presented, moving and in a way inspirational.

Michael.
