Multiple sclerosis (MS)

We are well and truly into spring here in the United kingdom, as the sun shines outside Martin & Patrick have another special guest Dominic Shadbolt.

Dominic has Multiple sclerosis (MS) and is soon to embark on an extraordinary journey across Canada of some 8,000 KM / 5,000 Miles to raise awareness and money for MS Brain Health initiatives.

A coast-to-coast cycling expedition across Canada with the ambitious goal of raising $1 million. This epic ride symbolises resilience, determination, and the power of community, aiming to transform the lives of people living with Multiple Sclerosis and to demonstrate anything is possible with a positive mental attitude.

Dominic tells us about his diagnosis with Multiple sclerosis (MS) at the early age of 28, how he deals with this illness day today and his future going forward.

This remarkable challenge will commence in Hallifax, Canada on the 1st May this year 2025 and will see Dominic Cycle on his A modified I.C.E. Sprint X modified recumbent cycle solo and un-aided 8,000km to Vancouver on the West Coast, dipping his toe in the water both sides at start and finish.

Multiple sclerosis is a disease that causes breakdown of the protective covering of nerves. Multiple sclerosis can cause numbness, weakness, trouble walking, vision changes and other symptoms. It's also known as MS. In MS, the immune system attacks the protective sheath that covers nerve fibers, known as myelin.

Season 2 - Episode 34

It's been a while since the boy's Martin & Patrick had a chat and a catch up, so this episode they've decided to do just that.

As we are all aware Martin got the bad news in August last year that his Cancer had spread and he would have to face another 6 rounds of Chemo during the winter and over Christmas.

With this round of treatment now complete it was time to visit the Cancer clinic and have a scan to see if the treatment had been successful, with the scan now complete and the results in hand following a meeting with his Oncologist Dr P, Martin shares this story and his results today.

It's been a busy month with the results, and other doctors and clinic appointments Martin spills the beans on these along with a a mishap or too along the way.

From Poo samples to Asthma to Diabete's this Podcast really has it all, there is even room for the return of "Martin's Joke of the week"

Season 2, Episode 35

DNA - Deoxyribonucleic acid

Today the boy's are back out on the road talking to their guests Wes Cardy and his very good friend Jan. Wes and Jan are in a singing group called "Cardy and Coke" and have been very successful over the years singing and writing songs for themselves and celebrities Ken Dodd and Daniel O'donnell.

Wes was born during the second world war and was fathered by an American over here in the UK as a serviceman, working at the local airfield of Wormingford.

For 50 years Wes has been trying to trace his long lost father who had returned to the United States in the 1940's but it wasn't until his very good friend and singing partner Jan gave Wes a DNA testing kit for his birthday.

Wes and Jan tells us the whole story and the remarkable events that took place following this life changing gift, they discuss the DNA story and how this is available for everyone trying to trace long lost family and those building their own family tree.

This is a remarkable story and we thank Wes and Jan for sharing this very personal journey with us all today.

DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the molecule that carries the genetic instructions for the development, functioning, growth, & reproduction of all known organisms including many viruses. It's a double-stranded helix, often visualised as a twisted ladder, with the rungs made of paired base molecules (adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine).
