My thing is I most want to be walking and running without my crutches. I have cerebral palsy, it affects the muscles in my legs which is why I need crutches to help me get around. Horse Riding helps my muscles and balance
I do not know Takiri until today when I was told by friends about this New Zealand $10,000 AMP Scholarship when they asked me to vote either for them or their family. I went into the facebook and saw Takiri's page.
It is just so strange that I should post a photo of the black and white swing for my Friday Shootout Meme. It is almost uncanny that this photo attracted most comments.
I like the swing too. I don't know why, but I picture a spirit sitting on that swing; a sweet soul.
It is just incredible.
I replied:
But what made me go OMG!!!! I have done it again. It is your comment on my swing b & w photo, and the spirit. I suppose you know that my baby died 22 years ago. I went back to the hospital, and took photos of the playground. All empty equipment. It was only after I went home, and much later, it was poignant. Your comment is another. Thanks so much.

Today is the first day of September. Andrew was born in September. The first thing that the doctors found on physical examination was his legs. Once a doctor even said, "Oh! you are the mum of the baby with funny legs." When I felt melancholy, my baby would never walk. The empty swing seems to tell that Andrew would never sit and enjoy this swing.
However, as I read Takiri, I sense that life must go on. Andrew is gone with his funny legs, but I can do something for Takiri with his funny legs so they no longer be funny. Takiri wants to go on to Para Olympics. If you have a facebook account, will you help me vote for Takiri.
As I first wrote, I do not know Takiri, I do know two students and a friend who have cerebral palsy. I encouraged one of them, one day, you will be in the Para Olympics, and I will be cheering for you.
Go!!! Takiri. I am getting all my friends to route for you.

Oh I just love the swing. A perfect subject for black and white.
My favorite shot is the swing also. Glad we did this theme.

The swing is very inviting.
The swing is my favourite, too. Lovely shot!

My thing is I most want to be walking and running without my crutches.
I have cerebral palsy, it affects the muscles in my legs which is why I need crutches to help me get around. Horse Riding helps my muscles and balance
The nature of my goal
To achieve my goal I need to excerise alot to strengthen my muscles but it is hard work and I need help everyday to do this. I have horse riding lessons once a week, this is important+ helps me with posture, balance, rhythm and muscle tone, It has been a huge benefit to me, I get a good workout, my body feels better afterwards and I am much more confident in myself. I ride my horse really well and I hope to be in the paralympics one day. I need lots of financial support to make my goal happen.
