Peter, born 1939, retired from his post as a Hospital Doctor (anaesthesia) in 2004. His main interest outside work is classical music, but he also enjoys theatre and getting out into the countryside. He is now far too busy to go to work!
Peter's wife, Anne, was a Registered Nurse, but has not worked in nursing for years as she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 1981 and has been fully in a wheelchair since about 1984. She works one morning a week as a volunteer classroom helper in a Primary School.
She is perhaps even more of a fresh-air fiend than Peter and they have had a lot of fun getting into all sorts of unlikely places with the wheelchair. They have also worked with local authorities and the National Trust in helping to make places wheelchair accessible.
