Good article, although I wasn't impressed with the nasty tone of the first commenter - so I've also put my oar in!

You can find out more about Nigel at the50list.co.uk and the book is an excellent read, highly recommended!

This is so touching and just goes to show what you can do if you are determined not to let CMT beat you

Dear All ....

A good article, written in a much respected newspaper :

However all C.M.T.'rs must also plat their part, by continuing to "spread the news", about this progressively worsening neurological disease, and in particular to all "Health Professionals", do not allow them to stand back and simply say, "Oh, I see you've got funny feet" ?
