Support Blair's treatment for Multiple Sclerosis

Taranaki

Tom cruise Impersonator, Crusty demon try hard, Wham wanna be.....the constant comedian with a huge smile and best sense of humour. Blair is all of this and more. Diagnosed with MS when he was 28 , but has lived life to the full. Blair has spent many years in a city that is close to his heart “Japan “. Working in Japanese universities teaching English to Japanese students he has been passionate about this country and the people making many lifetime friends along the way. Blair completed a BA in Japanese interpretation when he returned to New Zealand, and has completed other papers more recently as time and support have allowed.

Blair is a very intelligent person and still speaks fluent Japanese. Things that we love about Blair are many. First his sense of Humour and big cheesy grin. He cracks up and laughs at many jokes, he has determination and true grit, even when times are really tough. He has a positive attitude towards life, and in the toughest times you will still see him smile.

When the weather is great he is out and about cruising in his ‘wheels’ which is not easy given the state of the footpaths and the weather at times.

Greetings Mr Kelsen, what a lovely family picture...What a challenging journey you're on Blair....From the start of your journey you grasped the notion that 'failure' is an 'opinion' not an 'option'!....The first step to getting anywhere is deciding you're no longer willing to stay where you are!...So, Blair 'no matter how you feel, Get up! Dress up! Show up! ....and Never give up!!! and remember: The trouble with 'Nude dancing' is not everything stops with the music? 'Kia-Kaha' my friend.
