Went to pick Nathan up today,'come on mum, get a move on, games starting soon and I don't want to miss the beginning'. I am stood outside the van, looking at the snow coming down and the gritters with big chuff off snow ploughs on! Nathan says 'don't be a wuss Mum'! It says something when Nathan doesn't care about the weather, he says 'it's okay we know people that will get me back'. Nothing phases him. On roads, 'Mum, it's getting a bit worse up here'. Nathan then would only accept going back to hospital with a bribe of a BK drive through! Sat in canteen safely at Pinderfields, watching snow coming and he's planning on ski's for the wheelchair. He's going to turn me grey haired long before my time. Nathan still remains strong and a character second to none. He really didn't care that the snow may make him stuck at home, he knows he's got the support of all his family and friends. Xxxx
This is the attitude that makes me and the others helping so sure we will make his Fancy Dress Tag rugby event a success, if people put barriers in our way, we will go over them, under them or through them. If this young man can fight anything that life throws at him, then so can we!!!
Look in to those eye's and then send an email to nathantagrugby@gmail.com and join us for the Tag Rugby, as a player, a helper, a sponsor or even just a supporter. If you know someone who could help with face painting, or a hog roast or any ideas of how to make the event a success then please drop us a line.
We had thought of everyone who played getting a rugby stress ball, like the ones Nathan finds both helpful for building his fine motor skills and also for throwing at people visiting and the passing nurses, but we need a sponsor for these, and would love to have them branded for that company.
