The Weekend Australian this Saturday has a long article in it about Betty Cuthbert, a sprinter, who won three Olympic Gold medals long ago. Then she got MS. She's been in a wheelchair for 46 years, and can now move only her left hand.
There was nothing much in it about drugs or cures, or being angry, just Betty's beautiful smile.
So it raised awareness, but didn't say anything about needing to find a cure for this horrible disease.
Just serene acceptance and accepting your lot in life. No suggestion that anything could be done or needed to be done.
Yes, well, thank-you sooo much, journalist.
