Cape Branch<br />
Meet the Branch Committee<br />
Anne-Marie Stoman<br />
I am Anne-Marie Stoman, member of the <strong>MDF</strong><br />
Cape Town branch since 2010. I serve on the<br />
committee and attend and help where I can. I<br />
have two daughters Chrismarie and Madeleine.<br />
They support me whenever needed and I love<br />
them to bits. I was a WO in the SANDF, stationed<br />
in Youngsfield Military Base at the Signal Unit but<br />
worked at the Castle and Parliament.<br />
I participated in many different sport activities<br />
which kept me fit and only started walking wiith<br />
a walker in 2006. I was diagnosed with FSHD in<br />
1991, but never took notice of it untill it started<br />
affecting my sport activities in hockey, squash, karate,<br />
modern dancing and gym up till 2014.<br />
I am now in a retirement village Panorama Palms and I am incredibly happy. I help residents with any technology<br />
aspects as far as I can and call on assist with calling an uber when needed. My hobby is quilting. Although<br />
its difficult working with a needle, I have completed four big quilts and few small ones of which I am very proud.<br />
I am in a relationship with a dear friend whom I’ve known for approximately 30 years. May the Lord grant us many<br />
years of happiness as he brought us together.<br />
May our Cape Town branch be blessed with many more years as it feels like family when visiting there.<br />
Keep up the good work everyone<br />
With lots of love and appreciation<br />
