In 2010 I was diagnosed with a rare immune disease that attacks the Liver. I was fit and healthy, didn't drink or smoke, and completed regularly in road cycling races. As the disease progressed, I gradually lost muscle to the point where I was no longer able to lift my arms or walk more than a few metres without resting. I was one of the fortunate people to be offered a replacement liver, and after 10 hours of surgery, I was stable and out of the operating theatre. Although I have never regained the muscle I used to have, I am enjoying riding again, and have been given the chance to compete in the World Transplant Games in Perth in 2023.
