Apart from wanting to shoot them - the answer is when I'm 6 ft over - but hopefully that's not for at least a couple of decades....
theres so much we need to do -
I'm writing a bk on emotional resilience (in light of a 'fatal' Diagnosis) as I do believe we can help others live with greater purpose/ meaning without having to confront their mortality with an illness.... I love some of your comments - perhaps I can quote with your permission?!
gosh - agree so much re work etc too - everyone needs to feel "productive"
yes I'd to attend/ speak at the summit in April
also keen to any other advocacy/rep work

thanks for your long response
excuse my punctuation
am sending from ph!
best wishes, Elaine
