Geoff Creamer
Geoff is married and a father of two boys, Alex (aged 19) and Adam (aged 16) who were born with CGD. A trustee since 1992, including a couple of years as Chairman, Geoff has seen the Trust change from a small parent support group to the current sector-leading enterprise.
"Looking back, I have no doubt that the work of the Trust has radically changed the outlook for CGD patients today and I am very proud to be a part of that. Diagnosis and care is much improved but I am particularly pleased to see how our funded research is bearing fruit and bringing a cure closer. We really are leading the way."
He is a Chartered Engineer working in Bolton as Technical Director of a manufacturing company, and spends all day designing and making things. As a trained problem solver he cannot understand why it is taking so long to fix CGD!
Last year his son Alex had a bone marrow transplant and thereby added another chapter to his autobiography. Alex is doing well as he steers his way through a new set of medical issues.
On reaching his 50th birthday, Geoff has decided that it is time to get out more and do all those things that kids, mortgage and CGD have so far prevented, starting with a skiing trip.
