Purple Match

I was diagnosed with MS 15 years ago. This is a progressive illness which changes as time goes by. I am currently wheelchair dependant and the mobility challenges that brings with it. I used to work in the telecommunications sector for a network operator but I had to give up my job and I am now medically retired. I am married with three children and a cat. I really enjoy watching football and listening to music and keeping myself informed. I have a purpose built ensuite wet room. There is on drive parking available.
