Welcome to my Website

My stories highlight some of the challenges children with disabilities may encounter. 

Inspired by my late son, Leigh, who passed away suddenly in 2016 from complications related to his disability, at the age of 33 years.

They are dedicated to Leigh and other children with disabilities for their courage, strength,

and determination.
