Sean Francis - September

My name is Sean and I am 22 years old. I was diagnosed with cerebral palsy when I was ten months old, but this has not stopped me from having an active social life. I love sport, am I represent England and Wales at a ball game called Boccia, which is specifically for people with cerebral palsy. My long term aim is to be in the GB team for the 2012 Olympics. Despite my disability, I am making the most of life with the help of my parents, carers and friends, who all treat me absolutely normally, encouraging me to do anything a lad of my age would do.
