Hi my name is Charlene and I am a differently able’d mum of 3. I don’t let this stop me being the best mum I am capable of being or let it stop me living my life to the fullest.

I don’t like labeling people or the word disabled because I am a wheelchair user. As to disable something means to stop it, and like I said the wheelchair does not stop me from achieving my dreams and goals.

I see my self as differently able’d because I still do things but in my own way and time. I enjoy horse riding at stannington at weekends with my daughter, travelling , spending time with friends, reading, done a bit of modelling, and also recently had an interview with a magazine.

That will be released July, I think!!! The magazine is focused at female wheelchair users aged 18-30. I hope my story of learning to adapt and come to terms with my condition will inspire others to follow their dreams. And to not give up, and to stay active maybe even have a better experience as a wheelchair user.

I believe everything happens for a reason, I believe the reason I have this condition and I just went through a hard time. Is because I am supposed to help others in my situation.
