Every Picture Hides A Friend - Lee Benson
Every Picture Hides A Friend is dedicated to my brother Symon.
A good hearted soul who loved life, women, motor racing and music, with an ability to make people laugh and cry, he tragically left us way before three score and ten.
Symon was struck down with a cruel illness called Dystonia. He was also diagnosed as a Severe Manic Depressive or in today’s speak, he suffered with Bipolar condition from the age of fourteen. Legal medication contributed in cutting short his life. Can’t say that smoking helped him either.
Please feel free to make a donation no matter how small to The Dystonia Society or to any mental awareness charity.
Thank you
Lee Benson
