When I was born I was immediately put up for adoption, within 6 weeks I was fostered and then 3 months later I was adopted giving me a chance in life as a child. At the age of 31 I was involved in a Road Traffic Accident and sustained a head injury with several physical injuries including Spinal, neck, shoulders, chest and hips, I also spent 12 years in lock-in syndrome missing my three daughter's growing up. Then 11 years ago I began to show signs of improvement which in turn lead to some kind of recovery, I was given chance number 2 in life which and although I live 24/7 with pressure on my brain and in constant pain with the physical injuries I still believe I am very privileged to have the life I live now, I have the love and support of my family and friends. Unlike some children I don't have cancer and I have never been without food or without a roof over my head. I cannot even imagine what it's like to have cancer or to go hungry and be homeless? I decided to take on challenges in my wheelchair to help give children from all walks of life the same kind of chances I was given. To date I have pushed myself in my wheelchair from Portsmouth to London, Portland in Dorset to London, Plymouth in Devon to London and last year I pushed myself up the Rock of Gibraltar in my wheelchair and I have even done a challenge against the clock, completing 100 miles in 6 hours and 12 minutes. On the 19th of August 2016 I will take on my 10th challenge and make a tandem skydive from 13,500 ft this challenge is aptley named "REACH FOR THE SKY". The causes I will be supporting are: Save the Children, The Oakley Waterman Caravan Foundation and the City of Portsmouth AC. I hope you will help me make a difference to children's lives in some small way by donating whatever you can! Thank You.
