A little about myself:I am a young man living in the Gorseinon area of Swansea. My conditions are Cerebral Palsy, Gorlin Syndrome, and Epilepsy. This means I require help and support for all aspects of my daily life. Despite my conditions, I have a great personality, plenty of character and a fab sense of humour.
I am very family orientated and enjoy spending time with them as much as with my PA’s. I enjoy all aspects of social activities and like to quite adventurous - such as skiing, white water rafting, and sports. I also like going to the theatre to watch shows.
My PA’s also support me with independent living skills, and I quite enjoy going food shopping. I use a motorized wheelchair inside the home and when outdoors.
