Polio took her brother; then, she,
too, succumbed to the infection.
Martha Mason became paralysed at just eleven years old. Doctors predicted she would live a year at most and sent her home. She lived a further 61 years.
This is the Mail Online –
Those who have written about her life say her curiosity and desire to live as normal life as possible were the key to her longevity.

'She told me that she survived for so many years – while so many others with the same disease died – because of the exceptional care she received from her parents and community, and because she has always been driven to learn.'
It should be a no-brainer, but a

Campbell –
"If I should ever seek death - there are several times when my progressive condition challenges me - I want to guarantee that you are there supporting my continued life and its value.

Sometimes in our lives
We all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's
Always tomorrow
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
Bill Withers - Lean On Me
