Toby’s Interview

J = What disabilities do you have?

T = So basically i have a thing called cerebral palsy, which is because i was born 11 weeks early, so a long time beforehand. So I didn’t get enough oxygen to my brain, so the messages from my brain to my legs don’t really go through properly. So my leg muscles are kind of shit. My fine motor skills like sewing and things i can’t really do but that’s the main crops of it.

J = Ok, what is your earliest memory, if any, of realizing you were not able?

T = Oh god, that’s a good one. That is a good question.

It was when I went to Legoland when I was like 10 and they were like you can’t go on the ride, cause you have to walk of incase it breaks down but like why? Its literally just sit on it and I’m just like, oh, that’s a bit shit and then we went and ate doughnuts instead.

J – Ok, What are your Hobbies or things you like to do?

T - I do wheelchair rugby so that’s quite a big thing. Been doing that for about 5 years, its pretty cool, smashing people up in big wheelchairs like, yeah

I’m decent, like I’m in the GB development squad for that.
