Story

Hey there!

Thanks a bunch for visiting my JustGiving page.

My name's Jonah Norris, and I'm 16 years old. I have this really rare genetic condition called SNAP-25, which brings along a learning disability and autism. I absolutely love being outside and soaking up the fresh air, but sometimes my wheelchair can't take me to all the awesome places I want to explore :(

Unfortunately, I can't participate in many activities that my family enjoys, like running or cycling. And there are some places I really want to visit that are off-limits for my wheelchair. That's why I'm teaming up with Tree of Hope to raise funds for the large xRover All In One Buggy/Stroller*. You see, I'm growing fast, and the regular size won't be suitable for me anymore. With the large xRover, I can join my dad on more bike rides to the park and have a fantastic time "Jeffing"** with my mum.

My mum has taken up the challenge of running the Cardiff Half Marathon in October. It's an amazing event in Cardiff, and I really want to be a part of the fun! My parents will keep you updated on our progress, and any words of encouragement would mean the world to us.

If you can spare anything, I kindly ask you to sponsor me. Let's raise the £7,500.00 we need for Tree of Hope to help me get that all-terrain buggy.

Thank you so much for your support and generosity.
