A Bit About Me
I was born in 2017 and live at home with my mum, dad, and my twin brother Jacob. I’m kind, brave, and determined to do my best every day. I love football (especially Chelsea!), swimming, and helping my dad coach a youth football team. I’m home educated, which helps me manage my energy and do things at my own pace.
I have Cerebral Palsy, which means I need a bit of help with my muscles and posture. I can walk and move around independently, but I get tired easily, and I have an electric wheelchair to help me when this happens. I also need support with planning my day, going to appointments, activities and sometimes with personal care.
