    Apologies Yumi, I'm 6 years late. Excellently done. I am 53 years old, was diagnosed at 16 years of age, just after achieving my Karate Shodan / 1ste Dan / Black Belt. Very much like I didn't have the information back in 1985 in South Africa, so I adjusted very much like you had to. My husband and I have been married for 32 years, we have 2 adult children [son 28 yrs and daughter 26 yrs.] I have been power wheelchair user for 16 years now, manual wheelchair use for 10 years previously. Best wishes of success to you and everyone in your support foundation.
