James Hazell is 17 years old and was born with Spina bifida. He has spent most of his life having numerous surgeries on his spine and legs, which has given him the ability to walk short distances with crutches, but uses a wheelchair and a kay walker for longer distances.

After spectating the London 2012 Paralympic games, James realised disability does not limit ability to achieve goals. He was inspired to become an athlete, choosing basketball as his sport. It started out as a bit of fun but James is now a member of the Jaguars Wheelchair Basketball Club based in Newark playing in both the National Senior and Junior Leagues. He has recently had the pleasure of representing England in the school games, winning a sliver medal for the second year running.

Please help James raise £5000 for a made to measure custom chair to support his dreams. The chair upgrade will really give him an advantage on speed, turning and will put him in a better position to be able to shoot the ball, putting him in contention with other athletes with his ability.

Any Donations are greatly appreciated, thank you.
