Story

Like all teenagers, Josh loves hanging out with friends. But life can be tough when you have a heart condition that leaves you exhausted and unable to keep up.

Everyday things like walking can tire him, explains his mum, Natasha. He has a wheelchair if he needs to go any distance. He feels he is missing out, that all his friends are getting on and life is passing him by. He wants to be able to do ordinary things without physical limitations. He can get down about it, but he is a remarkably strong character.

Trek for us or sponsor our team and you'll be helping a teenager like Josh face life's challenges. At the Julia's House Youth Club, there are no boundaries to friendship and fun and no-one gets left behind.
