Luke Somerville

Our son Luke has cerebral palsy and is in a wheelchair, he cannot walk and only has one hand that works. 5 years ago we were told that he would not cope with mainstream secondary school let alone take GCSEs, this month he sits 6 GCSEs including History all of which he is due to pass. He has been accepted into college in September to study a course in music technology. He is also an explorer scout and takes part in all the things his able bodied mates do including the annual Gang Show, canoeing, climbing and even caving. He is also a big follower of the Olympics and is a very patriotic lad, in fact we had to record the opening and closing ceremonies of the last couple of olympics so he was able to watch them back many times. He would love to have a part in this once in a lifetime occassion so I hope that you will consider him. Many thanks
