As written by him..

"I will need help doing many physical activities that normal people take for granted such as dressing and showering. Standing up and walking is another one of my big problems as I have not been able to do it since birth or eviction day as me and my sister call it. You will also need to assist me in my daily life as I know that the next few months are going to be a very steep learning curve as I have never been away from home for longer than two days without my sisters present. I I like to be fully independent where possible however you will need to assist me in some elements as I either have difficulty achieving these tasks or have never done them before so I would like help.

I am currently at Cardiff University studying Media and Communications, so it would be ideal if you were interested in the same kind of thing. I'd like to use my degree to learn more about the media and hopefully be a pioneer for people like me as there are not that many of us in the media. And no I'm not studying the media just because I want to be famous. I want to study media just because I enjoy watching TV really and would like to have someone who shares the same hobby. I also enjoy going to gigs and listening to music which is something that I do also when I am chilling out after a long day doing an activity such as uni. But as much as I enjoyed chilling out while I'm at uni I would like to be able to take part in a range of different sports and Activities while I'm in uni as this will hopefully give me more independence and freeeeedom ."
