    I've known Cammy for a few years and watched his progress from afar. He smiles and laughs and has time for everyone. He was playing part-time and working for a removal company, helping me to move house! It was great to chat to him.I loved watching him at Edinburgh, and was sad to see him go to Newcastle. But, I was delighted that he would get to play more and challenge himself in a new environment. I loved having him as a podcast guest, we talked Rugby and life and the time disappeared!I hope you enjoy listening. Happiness is Egg Shaped

    ALL ROADS LEAD TO ROME SPECIAL Late last year, I spoke to Ian Barr & Rob Boyns, the Captains of the Dodd1e'5 Gr4nd S7am Team. They had the mad idea of cycling from Murrayfield to Rome for the Scotland v Italy 6N match. If that wasn't daft enough, it will visit Dublin, Cardiff, London, Paris, Monaco & Pisa on the way. 2 days after recording, they called and asked if I wanted to join...We're now 2 weeks away from departure, the team has visited Carrongrange school and Edinburgh University to engage with groups supporting our effort.Prof Tom Gillingwater is an important member of the MND community working at the Euan Macdonald MND ResearchCentre, trying every day to make progress towards finding treatments and, eventually, a cure.It was inspiring to listen to him, and I will think of his words in the darker moments on the trip.I hope you enjoy listening. Happiness is Egg Shaped
