A LIFE WITH POLIO​ AND LOVE

 

Of course it's been hard, it was hard from the day my parents were told that their third son might never walk after contracting polio as a child. Well, I did walk, albeit with a limp, but I had been given the tools to survive in the world.

​

My life was changed for the better at the age of eleven, when those responsible for my care decided that I would attend the Lord Mayor Treloar College, a specialist school for disabled children, and I would train to be a shoemaker.

​

At the age of fifty I decided to tell the story of my life, it took five years to put it all into works, but From Pillar to Post tells that story.
