I am 52 and from County Laois. I have worked with Citizens’ Information since 2006 and I also do some voluntary work with Cuisle Cancer Support Centre. I go to Beaumont Hospital ever year for a check-up with consultant neurologist, Margaret O’Brien, as I have the neuromuscular condition, Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT). I also have dyslexia. My family support worker from Muscular Dystrophy Ireland, Marie Kealy, is in regular contact with me and is a great support.
