Help Ben get to Florida for WCMX Worlds
Hi,this is Ben.He was born with spina bifida and hydrocephalus but is the happiest boy you could meet with the most infectious personality.He just loves meeting and making friends with everybody.His passion however is the skatepark after seeing Videos of Aaron "Wheelz" Fotheringham on You Tube and when our local opened 2 years ago he started going down there to socialize with his friends and ride the ramps in his every day wheelchair until the screws kept coming loose!In September 2018 he received his bespoke chair which enabled him to progress and with the help of now Women's World Champion Lily Rice take up the sport of WCMX more seriously to the extent that he entered the World Campionship in Cologne,Germany at the end of August 2019,his first proper competition.He did really well and finished in 4th place in the kids division.He got to hang out with his idols and meet loads of new friends from all over the world.Since coming back he has been visiting different skateparks around the country to try and improve as he really wants to compete again at next years World Championships which are now to be held in Florida USA.Obviously costs are huge and we dont have all the funds so we would be very grateful for any help you can give.
Any monies over our target will go towards new safety equipment and training costs.
Thank you.
