Julie has had Multiple Sclerosis (MS) for over 25 years and was a teacher and a successful athlete and musician. Nowadays, her MS has progressed so much she needs sticks, wheelchair or a mobility scooter to move around. Long since retired from teaching Julie now dedicates her time to her family. Her love for music continues still playing piano and saxophone, and listening to Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Patti Smith, Jack White, REM and the Manic Street Preachers. Julie loves writing poetry and her poems tend to reflect the impact MS has had on her life, as well as other topics close to her heart. She states “writing poems is my escape from everything” and we are delighted to have Julie on board.
