I too am cautious on that. I am replacing my motability vehicle and getting seat after much consideration. Didn't think I had seen many now every other car is a Seat. When we have a condition we start to see it around us as it's cloak of invisibility melts.

It is getting higher and that it due to the efforts of the he Charity, which runs this section and is approaching their 11th year . They have worked hard raising awareness and offering support. There are also two other charities, one in Scotland and one in the North East and support groups and coffee meet-ups. Non of this existed 10 years ago.

All are run by volunteers, many of whom have PMR and/or GCA and they could do with some financial help, so if you save pennies in a jar, you know to whom you should send them, they will be put to good use to help in the search for cause and cure.

Hi Keyes,

Thanks for letting us know. Obviously the more research into PMR the better! I have contacted them to offer my services.
