Story

Firstly.. a little bit about me.. the amazing Fin.. 

Apart from being an amazingly brave, funny, incredible boy.. I do have a few things going on inside this superhero body of mine! I have Cerebral Palsy, Autism, Scoliosis, Pulmonary Stenosis, Kidney Hydronethrosis, ERF Gene - genetic craniosynatosis..❤️

But i don’t let anything stop me.. I live my life to the fullest! I am braver than any superhero you’ve ever met and take everything in my stride! I had skull reconstruction surgery in April (13/04/2022)  to make more room for this amazing brain of mine as it had ran out of room! Just one of the many surgeries I’ve had in my 7 years so far and they don’t phase me! I come out braver and stronger every time..  💪🏻

The Dream Factory made a dream of mine come true.. and sent me to the O2 to see WWE! It was the best day of my life and I really want to make other disabled children’s dreams come true like mine has! 

So.. 

On Sunday 22nd May 2022 I will be taking part in the 5K Whizzing Wheelchair Challenge to raise money as part of The Dream Factory's Kids Helping Kids Campaign. I will be competing with other wheelchair users on the day and I will not be letting my disabilities hold me back, as I will be competing with other wheelchair users! I am ready to experience the sensory rush of speed and collaboration whilst being pushed by experienced Roller skaters at speed! The 5k circuit will take place at the beautiful Redbridge Cycling Centre located in Hainault, Essex IG6 3HP. Please come along on the day and show your support - free entry.All monies raised will go towards supporting The Dream Factory and Wheels for Wheelchairs both are fantastic charities whom are deserving of your kind donations as they help many children and young adults just like me!Your kind donations will help inspire me as I complete the 5K circuit of the Cycling Track, so please donate, big or small it all helps!
