Along with being dyslexic and ADHD, Brian Walker has lived with and been governed by bipolar disorder all of his life.
For 40 years, he has gone from one manic episode to the next, and has thus experienced adventures here at home and around the world. He's been poor and destitute, rich and famous. He has flown military aircraft and trained with Cosmonauts in Russia, built a submarine in Fiji, and spent millions on his bid to be the first private citizen to launch into space in a home built rocket.l
Mr Walker is now on a mission to try and inform and educate others as to just what this disorder is, and why people shouldn't fear those with it.
