About tmau.foundation

I caught a bus one day in London in the early hours, around 5am. The city was yet to wake up and the only people on the bus were the driver and a lady in the third row from the front. I entered the bus and sat down on the 4th row. There was a strong unpleasant odour so I quickly got up and moved towards the back of the bus where I noticed that the small wasn‘t present. Soon i got to my stop and went on with my day.

It was only later that I realised I’d had my first encounter with a fellow TMAU. I thought of this lady who was clearly getting the early bus to avoid meeting other people. Judging by the strength of the smell she probably didn’t know what was wrong with her, didn’t know how to deal with it, didn’t know who to speak to about it. I wished I could turn back time and talk to her.

When I first realised that something was really wrong with the odor I was emitting I went to a doctor. He asked me all sorts of silly questions but nothing that was at all useful, I realised that to solve the problem I’d have to work it out myself. It’s difficult for medical professionals, it’s a rare disease and seems to vary greatly from person to person. 

This Is why I set up the TMAU Foundation. I want to find that lady on the bus and help her, maybe she can help me too.
