The start of April is an odd one for me.

The Good: The 2nd of the month is my parkrun birthday as my first ever participation was on that day in 2011.

The Bad: The 3rd of the month is my diagnoses day. Back in 2014 I heard the words “You have Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis” and my world changed. There are many positive things that have happened since then, in particular the support network I have through the MS-UKs Peer pods. However, this is a very challenging and shitty disease that I wouldn’t wish upon anybody. I have lost so much functionality and am no longer the person I was, for the first 40 plus years of my life.

The Fantastic: The 4th of the month is anniversary day. In 2016, Hilary and I had our first proper date and have pretty much been side by side ever since. She is my absolute angel and I know that without her, “The Bad” would have been “The Impossible” and life would be seriously different. I can never thank her enough for all she does for me.

EYE TO EYE FOR INFINITY

Three major elements to my life which work together, as life would be completely different if any element was missing.
