The family of former sports journalist Rene Stoby has embarked on a journey to raise money for a much needed medical visit to identify a mystery illness that has since stripped him of his ability to speak and to walk.
Rene, who has been described by many as “jovial soul” has for the past two years been battling a mysterious illness which has severely affected his ability to speak and walk.
Sunday Stabroek understands that the ordeal began when Rene started experiencing muscle spasms which initially slowed down his mobility and affected his speech. These spasms were said to have been extremely painful and affected his left arm which started to fixate in an almost right angle position.
