I have signed up to the Superhero Series in order to try and inspire others with long term health conditions and disabilities to get active despite their conditions. I want to prove to myself and others that I can exercise despite the extra challenges that my illnesses present, and that by doing simple activities at home show others how exercise and sports can be implemented into a daily routine without the need for expensive gym memberships.

I hope to demonstrate that by finding the right activity getting moving can be fun and enjoyable. I also want to share the experience with my Mum who is also my carer and celebrate our relationship by getting active together in our local area.

It’s also a great opportunity to connect with other Essex All Together Ambassadors — Donna and Billy who will also be participating in order to complete some virtual and in person events and builds on our friendships as we support each other to keep moving and counting our steps throughout the challenge to see how far we can move together!

I’m really looking forward to connecting with Donna on the last day to complete our ‘finish line baton and wheelchair relay and exchange even’t that will hopefully get people talking about the challenge and wanting to get involved in the next one with us!
