I'm simply charting Moth's own personal journey and battle with his illness and what has helped him.

My books have become a record of his health, through the movement issues to the times on our very long walks when those symptoms have improved.

The effect of the suggestion that Moth has made up this condition has been absolutely traumatising for him.

Suggestions made by people who do not know him, have never met him and have never seen his medical records.

Thanks for listening to The Walkers, The Real Salt Path.
