500 Pharmaceutical delegates in London

I recently had the pleasure of speaking to 500 Pharmaceutical delegates at Sanofi Genzyme at their two  day conference in London. 

They wanted to hear from a patient's perspective,  the impact of living with Pompe Disease. They were also interested to find out about my experience of treatment (Enzyme Replacement Therapy),  which I have been receiving from their company, fortnightly, for the past  9 years. 

It was wonderful to be able to share my experience of living with Pompe Disease, from pre diagnosis, post diagnosis and through to the present day. I talked about raising my family, our leisure time, exercise, and working and how my treatment has become part of my life. I answered lots of questions and my focus was very much that even when you are diagnosed with a progressive condition, life does not end. You have to adapt as you go along but with the right support and equipment you can achieve in all aspects of your life. 

A wonderful experience, would love to do it again!
