Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page and for supporting me as I take part in the 2022 London to Amsterdam cycle ride in aid of the British Dyslexia Association.
The why? As some of you may know, I have Dyslexia which like many others was crippling growing up and made school, especially English class (i still have nightmares today) extremely challenging.
I still struggle, and even writing this has taken multiple attempts and time. Thankfully technology has come on leaps and bounds which is a game-changer when coming to spelling. But, to this day, there are times when I can't hide behind technology and my Dyslexia holds me back especially in a work environment. Thankfully I've learned to be braver in sharing with friends and colleagues my Dyslexia but I know for many others who struggle, they would rather hide in fear of embarrassment than share their Dyslexia.
The who? Your donation will help support children, young people, and adults with dyslexia and co-occurring differences, and support the British Dyslexia Association's work to build a society that enables dyslexic people of all ages and from all backgrounds to reach their full potential and be able to compete on a level playing field.
Thank you so much for all your support,
James Gizzy Connor x
