Light at the end of the tunnel.... After a tough few weeks of January gloom and Alfie’s operation being delayed until March, Saturday brung a hugely lifting experience. Alfie met the England powerchair football team goalie, Chris Gordon. Chris also has SMA (as do three other members of the England team!) and has also had a spinal fusion. He runs a company with his girlfriend supplying powerchairs for disabled sports and is an all round pretty inspiring bloke!
He even let Alfie have a sit in his car which he can control from his chair, giving him huge amounts of independence. It turns out as a disabled driver, Alfie will be able to get his license at just 16!! (I’ve told him he can repay all those lifts over the years with picking his old rents up from the pub 🙋🏼♀️) It was just the boost we all needed, to know that on the other side of this difficult few months, there is a very very bright future waiting for our little man 💫👨🏼🦼⚽️
