My friend, Paolo - The Brooding Italian, joined me at the river today.
He has a stand up paddle board and he wanted me to have another ride on it.
We had a go on the board together. I loved it!
Paolo made sure I was carefully balanced,
and Mum was there to catch me if I rolled off the board.
But, I trust my Uncle Paolo (that's what I call him now)
and wanted him to go faster and faster.
We had a go with me sitting up, and I stayed nice and strong
and we went really fast! Mum couldn't keep up!
When Paolo first asked us if I could ride on his board,
we wondered whether it would work... but it did!
We love how Paolo can see past my cerebral palsy
and how he makes things happen!
Paolo wanted some photos of us on his board,
so we asked Phil Winterton to come and take some photos of us.
Phil was awesome! He was in the water
and got very, very wet, so he could get good photos of me.
Thanks, Phil!
(When Phil gets the photos to us, we'll share them here for you to see.)
Here are our phone photos:
Paolo had Brewing it for Dexter Days and raised enough money for me to get about 20 hours of extra physiotherapy with Zoe during 2014! Read about the Brewing Days here. | Phil Winterton Photography Phil joined us at the river at very short notice and got saturated! Thanks for your patience, Phil! |
