Life with MS

It is the most frustrating disease, the body is willing but the body is weak and wobbles about all over the place, I used to be a dancer in Australia and hitch hiked all the way across the Continent which was much bigger than I expected! We have no conception of the distances that the population in OZ treat as just down the road! I expected that I would travel with a friend but one meets people on the way, I met a Canadian girl on the quay going to Tasmania and I asked her which way was she going and she said to the left so I went the same way. I was at Exeter University Training in Dance and Drama. So I hitchhiked on the Tarmac and we got a lift to the Flying Doctors in Derby and they gave me a lift to a Station in the Kimberleys where I got a job as a cook and teacher to the Family called Quilties. My friend Irene was at another station next door and a couple of months We split up and I suddenly saw her and stopped the bus and rushed down to see her. She was very laid back and just said "Hi". We were able to share a tent until we met up with the other people on our little expedition.
I suppose I am saying if you are diagnosed with MS it limits you in some ways but they are making such advances and hopefully there are such advances and keep hopeful.
Maybe they will fined a cure before too long!

Destroying the Amazon Rain Forest.

I was inspired when I was at school by a teacher at this small school in East Grinstead called Miss Greeley and she came from Breed and when she talked about "The Rain Forest" she entered another world and you knew she was there in her mind. I am not sure whether she had ever been there, as she was very disabled; she looked as if she had had polio as a child, but she had mentally been there.
This was a small school which is now closed in Crowborough in East Sussex with an enlightened Headmistress called Miss Cholmley. I as a school girl only realised this with hind sight!
How do you have some effect on a world leader whose actions will influence us all!
I have spoken to a lot of people who are as concerned as I am.We think that if you can raise enough money to buy "The Rain Forest" you could stop this man in South America cutting down all the trees. Judi Dench is on at this moment in a series called "Judi Dench's Wild Borneo Adventure" which is very exciting and she has adopted three Orangutans which she says are very under threat. The mothers are killed so the young have no way of knowing the way to behave, and there is an Orphan sanctuary in the area of which Judi has become a patron.
I think that there are enough people that believe in what is happening to the planet and want to do something about it. It is so sad that there are many species that haven't been discovered yet in the Rain Forest and there are certain leaves that are medicinal and can be used an have not been discovered yet. Please protect The Rain Forest!
