Dear @GaryLineker
You were one of the first people to donate towards my fundraising for neurorehab, so In light of the shit show that’s unfolding right now, I thought I’d pick this moment to share that because of you and so many other incredible people here, I took my first steps in 8 years this week.

Thank you… forever x

Learning about 3D shapes in Blender. A UV sphere has faces with 4 edges, while an Icosphere has triangular faces. Interesting......
