        Hi Vic, Great to hear from you! Hope they put you back together properly - sorry to hear you've been under the weather and the knife. But we're both fighters! I have been remarkably well in spite of close family members getting Covid - there's no rhyme or reason in all this, just luck I think. Look after yourself! All the best, Grant

        Hi Vic. Great to hear from you - I am considerably better than six months ago and am going for an MOT at Addenbrooke's on Monday. Sadly I won't be able to go to the service at Ely this year. How are you doing? I hope all is well with you. All the very best Grant

    Was Type 1 from the age of 11 months until 4 days before my 55th birthday, thanks to a kidney pancreas transplant in August 2013. Wrote Fifty Years of Malfunction as a result, the aim of which was to help others who may have direct or indirect experience of what I went through. All proceeds from the book go to the Transplant Department at Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge.
