Short Bio

I am the wife of Jeff, currently undergoing second opinion tests to confirm IPF diagnosis. We live in Vietnam, where there is little awareness or treatment available that we know of. Jeff is in the UK now for the tests.

We are UK citizens (I am also a US citizen) but have lived internationally since 1992, working in international development. We have lived in Japan, Mongolia, Italy, Ethiopia, Laos and now Vietnam.

We have three children aged 13, 15 and 17. I am the main breadwinner. Jeff is a photographer.
