Luke's nomination story

Throughout his life Luke has shown an outstanding determination to succeed despite suffering from a serious life-long illness, and being severely dyslexic. For many years he has inspired other young people, by giving up his spare time to lead residential adventure holidays for young people, who like him, suffer from Primary Immune Deficiency. In 2004 he was awarded the RADAR Young Person's Award for the Furtherance of Human Rights for Disabled People. Despite his own learning difficulties and ill health he achieved a BA Honours degree in 2006. He works as a Boarding Master in a School for Specific Learning Difficulties. This year he has been awarded an Achievement Award by the Primary Immune Deficiency Association for his Voluntary Work over many years. Although he often feels unwell, he is a very happy, positive person who inspires others people to be the best they can be by example.
