TWENTY years ago Lindsay Moore was accepted into a prestigious dancing college in London.
Today she sits in a wheelchair completely dependant on her carers and unable to even feed herself.
At just 32 years old, Lindsay was struck down with Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
Twelve months later, after beginning to get her head around the diagnosis,
Lindsay, who dreamed of being a professional dancer, was told she had primary-progressive MS – the most aggressive form of the condition.
The second sickening blow meant within two years she was confined to a wheelchair, unable to even complete the most simple of tasks without help.
