Story
It feels strange to look back at my gymnast days, it’s awful to have gone from an athletic, hyper child, to being stuck in a wheelchair. But this is my life now, and i’m not going to let it stop me from having fun.
Hey i’m Sophie, i’m 16 and i’m from the UK. I love horses and have been an equestrian since i was two.
I have Autism, ADHD, Anxiety, verbal ticks. And i also have Scoliosis, hyper mobility and Chronic fatigue Syndrome. (CFS) my CFS affects me the most and i’m asleep for most of the day/for the whole day. I can’t walk very far without getting exhausted. My wheelchair i have currently, is giving up on us. Its so heavy and my mum struggles to lift it in and out of the car. I used to be a gymnast but i just havent got the strength or energy to do it anymore. It‘s horrible to have gone from, a hyper, bouncy, athletic child. To a girl who stays in bed all day and always feels like sh*t. My wheelchair is my legs some days. And i would love to have one that i can push myself in. As my chair is so hard to push And hopefully a new wheelchair would be more comfy too. The wheelchair i would love is a Quickie Xenon 2 SA. Thankyou so much to the people that help me with this. Means alot💛
