A constant source of support and encouragement

Having suffered with chronic back pain for several years, following major spinal surgery, I am quite convinced that my present mobility is due entirely to the efforts of Gillian Huckett. She has been a constant source of support and encouragement, and given excellant advice on how to maintain my present level of fitness.
