As written by the client..
I have Duchene Muscular Dystrophy and Crohns disease which means I am in a wheelchair full time. I have a cat called Monkey who is very friendly and loves lots of attention. I like to watch lots of medical dramas like Grey's Anatomy, Chicago Med and Casualty. I love watching Clarksons Farm, Masked Singer, The Voice, A League of their own and many sports documentaries like Welcome to Wrexham. I also enjoy going to the cinema and watching films of all different types. I love all things Star Wars including all the films and series.
I support AFC Bournemouth and go to most home games and some away games. I love sports football, formula 1 (especially McLaren and Lando Norris), cricket, tennis, boxing and darts. I play powerchair football. I like to build Lego, especially Star Wars. I like to play card and board games like uno, exploding kittens, monopoly and ticket to ride.
I will need help with my hand exercises, getting into my stander, putting on my hand splints, and hydrotherapy so you will need to be good with being around water and also being able to help when I have physio sessions regarding my standard and the maintenance.

I will also need you to get my books and laptop out of my bag and set the laptop up for me and type for me during lectures.
