Marathon for Jordan's Wheelchair
Donation protected
Karen Duke, Janette Deacon and Karl Manifold will be attempting to Run in the Chester Marathon on the 4th of October, in order to raise Funds for Jordan Duke to buy a Special Football Wheelchair to help him one day reach his dream and play Powered Wheelchair Football for England.
Hi, my name is Jordan I'm 18 years old and I was born with congenital Muscular Dystraphy ( a muscle weakening illness) where I am born with severally weak muscles which I unable to do things I would of loved to do growing up, like playing football with my friends or riding a bike.
About 6 years ago I was introduced into a sport called Powered Wheelchair football by Everton in the Community. This has changed my life forever. "The best thing my life". I've been playing for Everton in a team now for about 3 years and it's amazing. I've made lots of friends that have the same interests as me, I currently play in the National League championship and we've just been promoted to the premiership after just 1 season in this league. Our hard work paid off :) I scored 39 goals and finished as the leagues Top Goalscorer and I was also awarded Players player of the season thanks to all the championship players that kindly voted for me.
Before Christmas my Football coach had told me that England would consider giving me trials In the future. It would be a dream to play for England and represent my country, but the only way I could get into the England team and achieve my goal in life I'd need a special Wheelchair that all the England players have got. This is why I'm trying to start a fundraising campaign to help accomplish on getting my dream wheelchair and represent England one day. Any donations I would be very thankful and most grateful for your kind generosity.
