Hi everyone

This is being set up after the amazing bikers community and SEN community stepped up and showed our son the good in the world.

Josh is 15 just finished his GCSES and now the fun of prom. Josh has had a rough time in school for multiple reasons mainly bullying because he is different he dresses alternative has epilepsy and Autism and this made him stand out to the bullies. He has missed out on so much in school as instead of the bullies being removed he was he had to reduce his timetable and even had to drop a lot of his GCSES.

Through this all Josh never gave up and pushed through and completed his GCSES and we are so proud of him.

For prom he asked for a few bikers to escort him we are a biker family ourselves and hoped a couple would come see him off to prom in style he was excited that he might get a dozen. We wanted him to have a end to the school chapter in his life with a bang and not be overshadowed by all the negative.

The power of the biking community the SEN community and so many amazing people stepped up in the best way. In the last week we have been flooded with support love and kindness. People from all around the world have heard Josh story and stand with him against bullying.

We have had a lot of people ask about a go fund me to be set up and at first we declined as this was never about money it was just wanting to show Josh he isn't alone even in his darkest days.

We were also asked about a wish list and within 48 hours everything was all purchased and people asked for more items to be added.

Times are tough and know that so many people are struggling but we had a few people asking us to set this up so funds can be raised to help josh with his future at college and hopefully get his first set of wheels.

Josh is going to college with the amazing motivation to become a Paediatric Therapist and work with children just like him as he can relate to them and we couldn't be prouder.

We are so so thankful to everyone and restoring not just our faith in humanity but showed this little family that we have the world behind us supporting us and bullies never win.
