YOUTH AWARD

IN October, I was honoured to receive a British Citizen Youth Award in recognition of my fundraising for an amazing charity in Lancashire called Rainbow Hub.

I have severe quadriplegic cerebral palsy and they have helped me work with my disability and learn skills that I was never expected to achieve.

As a thank you and to help them support more young people like me, I have raised over £16,000 in the last few years by doing various challenges – I don’t let my disability stop me!

We had an exciting family day out travelling to the Palace of Westminster in London to receive my award, along with 25 other amazing young people.

The medal presentation was hosted by Kimberly Wyatt and I was given my medal by Dame Mary Perkins (both pictured). We were all made to feel very special.

After chatting with some of the other medallists and having our photos taken, we went for a lap of honour open-top bus tour to see

some of London.
