I am a British citizen (previously Belgian), living in Wales, UK ever since 1982 and I am currently connected to the Welsh Dragon Burns Club.

I was involved in an Industrial Accident in 1992 whilst working on an oil refinery in Scotland, leaving me with 50% burns to hands, body and face. I was discharged after having spend about three and a half months in Hospital....then my recovery began.

Although my recovery was a team effort between the Plastic Surgeons and all medical staff, it was the excellent after care of my wife, daughter and GP that brought me back to normal life again. There were no such things as Support Groups around at the time, to offer help.

To cut a long story short, I came through the ordeal reasonable well, but the mental and physical scars will always be with me.

I created this website in 1997 as I know that help is of vital importance to the patient recovery. I know that there are people and Support Groups out there who are prepared to give support, people who have been through the same experience, or qualified people who volunteer to help.

This updated website is a tribute to every Burn Survivor, individual and organisation alike, who crossed my path ever since 1992 and whom contributed in one way or another to it......it has been a pleasure knowing you all!

Finally, I like to thank the creator and community of WebThang , Page Designs and Damien, a very good friend, for the commitment and support they have given me in the creation of this updated website.
