My story

Liam Plumridge is 21 years old, and suffers from Dyspraxia. Dyspraxia affects an individual's movement, balance and perception. It affects the ability to carry out tasks such as tying shoe laces, opening tins of beans or catching a ball. It also may affect a person's concentration, visual perception and organisational studies.

 

In 2007, Liam was seen on BBC 2's Across The Andes - Beyond Boundaries programme with nine other disabled people completing an expedition in Ecuador from the Amazon Rainforest across the Andes, including going up Cotopaxi, South America's highest live volcano before ending at the Pacific Coast.

Since the expedition, Liam has been an ambassador for the Dyspraxia Foundation, and currently is the charity's Young Ambassador and Trustee for Fundraising.

The foundation is in desperate need of financial support, and if it does not receive funds soon, the foundation is in risk of closure.

Therefore between February 5th to February 11th, Liam has organised several events to raise money for the charity.

Liam's personal challenge is on Monday February 6th to complete a 2012m Swim, 20.12km Cycle and a 2.012km Run!

A huge ask for somebody with Dyspraxia,

By donating any money to this challenge, your money will be assisting to support the incredible work of the Dyspraxia Foundation..

Many thanks for supporting us.

Liam
