Hello from Scotland

[Guest guest]

I would just like to introduce myself. I am 34 have type 3 SMA and

had a younger sister who died aged 13 and my family are going

through the diagnosis pain again as my older sister who is no

affected has a 6 month old baby who is undergoing the various tests

for neuromuscular disorders...

Anyway, I am very active and love my sport, a sniff of water and I

am there! I swam for GB for 10 years until my sma got too bad; now I

compete in trail orienteering but at the moment for pleasure but

oneday I would like too represent my Country again. Other activities

include swimming, canoeing and sailing, as well as a little bit of

camping. Next year we are hoping to have a holiday in the usa

canoeing down the Missouri River and around Yellowstone National

Park!

We live in Scotland I love photography, the arts and the cinema. I

have been with my husband for 15 years and I get my with the

assistance of my personal assistants (PA's) as my husband is also a

wheelchair user through loosing his legs in a motorbike accident

when he was 17. We do not have any children but we have 2 miniture

schnauzers which we got from a rescue centre (they have various

neurosis from their past) but they are of great comfort.

Anyway, enough of me for now, I look forward too hearing from some

of you.

Until then take care Vivien
