Meet Tammy and read about the impact good supports have on her life

My name is Tammy Milne and I live in Tasmania. I was born with Arthrogrophosis multiplex congenita, which basically means the muscles and bones in my legs, shoulders and throat are weak and malformed. I am 60 years old and wear it as a badge of honour to have survived this long.
