Episode 26. Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy with Antoinette Stubbs – Author of Braveheart

In this episode, I am joined by Antoinette Stubbs to discuss her memoir Braveheart.

The release of this podcast today celebrates Antoinette starting a new role n the British National Health Service today!

In Braveheart, Annie narrated the experience of her son, Calum, who suffered with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Our discussion highlights the early symptoms of the disease, the delay in diagnosis, and the burden of care.

Just as the podcast highlights the grief that came with losing Calum, it also brings out the positivity that enables Annie to say that there is still much beauty in the world.

Annie is a Legal Assistant who also describes herself as I am a mother, grandmother, great grandmother, aunt, cousin, friend, work colleague, and sister.

She does not see herself as a professional writer, or a professional poet, but she has found her own way of my expressing herself fully through words.
