Story
This is about a 13 year boy called James Frogatt .
James was born in Barnsley , Yorkshire , England with a very rare congenital disorder called phocomelia. This can manifest itself in many ways but in James' case he was born with underdeveloped arms and only very tiny digits.
This lad has not exactly been dealt the best cards in life and other than school doesn't get out that much, his confidence is effected hugely by his disability.
Now James is in his teens life is not getting much easier.
We would like you to please help us raise the funds to send James , his dad Alex , and little sister to a summer camp (and possibly to other adventures ) in Clearwater Florida. We know this trip would be life changing for them all but especially for James.
"Who are we " I here you ask? We are actually made up of a small team now.
James' father Alex
James' teacher in Barnsley Academy , Maria Y
James' elder brother.
Nick Stillwell CEO of the "never say never" foundation in Florida.
Tyler Watts of the "Pirates of the carefree being"
My fiancé and midwife Rachael Hobson
And of course myself Paul William Woodcock
The owner of a small construction business in James' home town ( and the one whom came up with this slightly crazy idea of getting James to America )
So what's the deal?
The camp in Florida is called "Pirate camp"
Pirate camp is a once a year event and one of the main concentrations of the Never say Never foundation.
The camp is set in the Clearwater sailing centre with the main aim being to show amputee / disabled kids of all ages, that they can do able bodied sports and let loose with children with similar disabilities to themselves. These kids have the time of their lives at this camp, realising they're not alone with the adversities they face and they can, with enough determination and motivation achieve whatever the put their mind to. It's truely inspirational.
If you think you can help please donate
Thanks the Frogatts
