As written by him...
Hi! My name is Jack. Im 23 and have just finished uni. Gonna be honest, I have no idea where Im going in life, but the beauty in that is that I have a world of options!
As it says above, I have a Neuromuscular condition called Spinal Muscular Atrophy. This means that to access the world and start my future, I need the help of a team of personal assistants.
My day-to-day life is, generally, fairly laidback but I do bounce around the country to see mates quite a bit, so ideally, youll enjoy a road trip.
For me, the perfect PA isnt somebody who will help me out for the rest of my life, but somebody who sees that I want to live my life completely on my own terms and facilitates that to the best of their ability.
