Please read Sheryl's post about life with chronic illness. "Life with chronic illness is a compact, sinuous curve of happiness and pain. You begin to fear the things that make life beautiful, because they are now a precursor to more pain." achronicvoice.com/2016/11/01/how… via @AChVoice

#RIPRob Rob Burrow was an amazing man who fought such a hard battle. He and #DoddieWeir have really shone a light on #MND. The work they've started can't stop. My cousin in California has recently been diagnosed with this horrific disease, known in USA as #ALS.
