[clare t]

i spoke to my uncles wife who has been looking after him since he was dig 6mon ago and she thinks it would help my uncle if he met people with als who is at the same stage as him and around the same age i live in england in leicester so if anyone lives near to us would they send me a mess so i might know where to go to meet people with the same illness as he might not feel so alone god bless everyone:-?

Hi clare, I have taken the liberty of putting you on the map so that you can see where you are in relation to others on the forum. I see that the closest person to you (of those mapped) is Cherry in Nottingham. This is the reason why I started this map, so we could find each in physical space not just cyberspace.

Here is the map link
Hinton, AB - Google Maps

And here is the link to the map thread, anyone who wants a pin send me a message on that thread
