Wow Marie, so proud of you and what a great mentor you have had in John on your incredible journey.

John does love his Garlands! Excellent video. Walking is just an over-rated past time and wheels are brilliant, so is John Lawson!

Hi Marie. I'm Vinnie from the Highlands and met you and Mike a few months ago at Chill Factore. we were talking about the Andorra trip. I love your steely determination and your no nonsense attitude. This video touched my soul with the love and partnership that you and Mike have for and with each other.
Wishing you both all the best for the future and may your journeys to Chill Factore and back be as hassle free as possible... I have to give a shout out to John for his guidance and aiding your belief in your abilities. Blessings and best wishes to both of you.
I love
