In this, the final episode of You, Me & Muscular Dystrophy, I am interviewed by my son, Jake, about my decision to enact Voluntary Assisted Dying (VAD) on 2 July 2026.

This has been a difficult decision made over many months. In this episode, I talk about when and why I began considering VAD as an option, my thoughts on death, autonomy and dignity in end-of-life choices and more. 

Thank you for supporting You, Me & Muscular Dystrophy. I’m very grateful that you have chosen to listen or watch and I hope it has brought you information, entertainment and enjoyment.
