Story

I am jack and I am 11 years old. I was born with part of my right arm and leg missing. When I was one, Karen and the team at The Wirral limb centre in clatterbridge fitted my first prosthetic leg, it was a tiny straight leg without a knee and it was held on with a big bulky strap belt around my waist but it did the job and I learnt to walk and run and even ride on my scooter. When I started reception class I got my first ever prosthetic leg with a bendy knee joint ( I had to learn to walk with a knee) it was amazing to be able to cross my legs like all my friends on the carpet!!!🤣 Sometimes my stump gets very rubbed and sore and I sometimes find It difficult to do the same things as my friends but I never give up I always find my own way and get there in the end. 

Last October I was invited to go on a dreamflight holiday to Disney world Orlando with 190 other disabled or poorly children. It was AMAZING!!! We got to go on some of the fastest scariest roller coasters, meet all the  characters, ride on water slides and much much more, my favourite part was swimming with the dolphins. Due to an illness, disability or family circumstance some of my new friends had not been on a holiday or been away from their family .... it really was a holiday of a life time. 

On July 27th I am going to walk to the summit of Mount Snowdon to raise some money for dreamflight so they can give more children the same opportunity as me. Snowdon is 3560ft and is the highest peak in the British isles( if you exclude the Scottish highlands).  With the help of Area 51 fitness gym in Crewe and Miss Baker ( my old teacher ) I am in training  to fulfill the challenge.

Your support would be much appreciated by following my story and sponsoring me.  Thank you jack 😀🏃‍♂️
