Watch this space. So, he hopes you’ll still join us on this adventure. ————————————— As our very good friend, Rosemary Frazer, best said: “We're too busy to be disabled...

#MakeTheDaysCount #MuscularDystrophy #BeBoldBeWildBeFearless | As my hero, the awesome Cindy Gallop best says: “Shared Values + Shared Action = #Shared Profit.” • • • • • • I take this quote seriously and always aim to make every second of my life count, collaborating with shared #bravery and #purpose to have real, positive impact in the world; and those of you who know me well will know that I do this everyday whether in what I do, whom I meet, and wherever in the world I go. So today, my ace mate, Vivek and his lovely mum Manjula from Leicester came to visit! 🎉 I first met Vivek years ago through our mutual disability advocacy work for Muscular Dystrophy UK’s Trailblazers Network; we are also recently working on lots of exciting projects together that I can’t wait to start sharing with you. • • • • • • Anyway, we had a great chat and a proper catch up. We chatted everything life, travel, politics, work, projects and future world domination. It was amazing! 😃 • • • • • • Thank you, Vivek (and Manjula) for a fantastic day. Until next time. Here's to more shaking up the world to make it a better place for all and to lots of incredible adventures together in 2017 (and beyond)! ☀️ • • • • • • Take care and speak soon mate. 🙌🏼 • • • • • • “Don't count the days, make the days count.” – Muhammad Ali • • • • • • #ONWARDSandUPWARDS. 👊🏼 • • • • • • #London #2017 #friends #create #creative #creativity #WorkHardAndBeNiceToPeople #BeBraveAndDrivenByPurpose #DontBeADick #PissOnPity #FistBumpsOnlyPLEASE #adventure #adventures #NewAdventures #AdventureIsCalling #InToTheWild #IAmNOTAnInspirationIAmJUSTLivingMyLife #superabled #IAmSuperabled (at Woodford Green, Redbridge, United Kingdom)

#HappyBirthdayNHS #NHS70 #HappyBirthday #ItIsOurBirthday #THANKYOUNHS #ILoveTheNHS #5July | “Deal with yourself as an individual worthy of respect, and make everyone else deal with you the same way.” – Nikki Giovanni. ‪—————————————‬ Today (5th July) was my #birthday and the birthday of the #NHS! I should’ve have been dead at five. I’m now thirty-something. A huge part of me living this long and continuing to thrive (not merely survive) goes to the NHS, as someone with a #raredisease. I am SO proud we share the same birthday too. ‪—————————————‬ So, today I say a massive #thankyou to all the wonderful staff of who support me every single day to live my best life, especially the incredible woman (89% percent of you). I am forever grateful and I will always have your back. ————————————— Also, reflecting back on a incredible year and an exciting year ahead, this goes out to all you marginalised communities all over the world (#women, #LGBTQ+, #POC, #disabled people) who feel isolated and lost. Know that things will be okay and you are doing amazing. You are loved and your life is valued. You make the world a better place. You inspire me. I for one, will always continue to support and fight for you until my last breath. ————————————— Together: We got this! ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 ————————————— “Do not follow the path.
