Not a celeb but a sportsman. Steven Holcomb who was the driver for the USA 2 & 4 man bob in the winter olympics. They mentioned during the TV coverage one day that he had tried to commit suicide a few years ago because he was having trouble driving the bob due to double vision caused by his corneas being cone shaped. They then said that he had an operation which cured him, they now call it the Holcomb C3R in the States. Did a Google search and confirmed it as KC.
Hope to catch up with some of you at the AGM next week.
