Keith White

members_keith_whiteMy name is Keith. I am married to Sally and we have one daughter - Claire, and we live in Watford.

I was diagnosed alpha in 1996. I had a lung reduction in 2000, sadly, not very successful.
I was medically retired from the buses after 20 years in 2003, although I didn't think so at the time it was the best thing to happen to me.
I try to keep fit by going to gym 2 or 3 times a week and I also enjoy reading, golf (when my scooter's working) and am a West Ham season ticket holder.
