Forward MID Members
Iain Tait
Age: Same age as my tongue and a little older than my teeth.
Position:Newsletter editor and web designer.
Since leaving school I have lived and worked all over the United Kingdom and have seen a lot of the world, I served in the Royal Navy for ten years and then became a taxi owner for twenty years. I am married for the second time and have four children and four grand children.
I became disabled on July 15th 2002 and have been able to get one part time job for six weeks but was unable to cope with the work and the ailment.
I became a founder member of Forward MID and now take on the role of editing the newsletter, I have completed a Higher National Diploma at Jewel & Esk College studying web design, I have stepped up to Napier University studying web technologies we now have the web site up and running with some nice interaction. Being part of Forward MID lets me get out and meet people and explain to them what it is like to be in a wheelchair and how some people treat me as a patient and not a person. In 2006 I had a major operation and I and was able to walk short distances again but I got tired easily, the operation's success was short lived and I am now in a wheelchair permanently.
I believe that when I am home that I give my family the best and not what is left.
