Hello, my name is Kingston, I'm 10 years old and I'm from Portadown.

Right now, I am fundraising for a brand new competition wheelchair, which will give me the best chance to realise my full potential!

Despite my condition I love playing football, and I currently turn out for the Lightening Powerchair football club based at the Lisburn Leisure complex, but I have to borrow a chair everytime. Having my own would be a dream come true.

This chair would mean the world to me, but as it's a specific type of chair bespoke for my requirements, it costs  £5,239 - which is certainly not the kind of money me and my family can just lay our hands on - so I am appealing for your help.

My Dad Colin knows how much this chair would mean to me: 'Kingston has flourished on and off the pitch since taking up wheelchair football. Not playing the game is not an option for him. Players without specially adapted chairs have to share, which for Kingston means he could end up playing in the wrong size chair'  

I love wheelchair football as it's very exciting and perfect for my condition which is spina bifida hydrocephalus. I would hate to have to stop playing. Plus my ambition is to become a football coach, so the chair is essential for me to achieve this.  

Any donation you can afford would give me a tremendous boost and get me close to my target. Donations can be made here on justgiving, or by texting: SPOR70 £amount 70070.

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great Summer!
