Peer Support Partner – John
Age at diagnosis?
I was diagnosed with RA when I was 32 years old.
Why I chose to be a Peer Support Partner
I was attracted to becoming a Peer Support Partner with the hope of being able to help others. I have had the disease for many years and was able to deal with many ups and downs with my brother who was also diagnosed with the disease 9 years after I was. My experience working with people going through trauma as a police detective has prepared me.
A little about me
I am retired and enjoy sailing, woodworking, and photography.
