poet and artist
His neighbours thought him eccentric. His visions were mocked. Yet William Blake never ceased his mental fight. Today he stands as one of the great romantics—a man who imagined freedom into being. Depicted here on JamesDrake TV:

Tremendous to receive such publicity from the excellent magazine, Living North. The more known about the dangers of heading, the more youth will be protected in the future. Spread the word.

Now that all this MRI data is being generated for the population as a whole, it is vital that contact sport starts to collect baseline MRI data for players who request it.

.@WillStewNeuro spoke of the balance between protecting the game we love whilst also addressing health concerns on @BBCNewsnight "There’s an awful lot of impacts that go on in the week of training that no one’s really looking at but cumulatively are damaging the brain over time"

The inquest process continues. The Gates family are committed to finding out the truth in order to protect everyone who ever heads a ball.

@johnstiles64 @chris_sutton73 @DavidMay04 @mattletiss7 @jimbeglin @RealRazor @PFA @JohnHartson10 @bignorms @ThebfgGazza Thanks John. I wonder why the FA did everything they could do at the enquiry about Bill Gates to silence them…..apparently the fact football and dementia killed him wasn’t in the public’s interest ……many will think it actually is. 💔 🧠😢players and families deserve to know

Precious gift from granddaughter Becky. She said she chose it because the words are “So grandma”. Grateful that she has learned a “language of possibility” from me. Prioritise “What if you fly”. I try to.
