I'm so excited!! About 6 years ago there was a girl on TV in the UK with Moebius. Emma had just been born, so to see this teenager doing gymnastics etc was a huge encouragement. I contacted the BBC to see if I could get in touch with her, but to no avail.
Today I saw her on Facebook, on one of the Moebius groups. Her name is also Emma, and although she is not the only Moebian in the UK called Emma, I knew it had to be her.
I friend requested her and sent her a message (so she knew why I contacted her!). She accepted and we chatted a bit. I let her know how encouraging she had been, and also what a beautiful young woman she had become.
She lives in Taunton, but is from Bristol (!) and is at university in Plymouth (!!). (If that means nothing to you, don't worry ;)
Unfortunately she won't be over for the conference in DC this July, but maybe one day we'll make it back to the UK and can meet up with her!
Totally made my day.
