I am a 31-year-old disabled man with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and a full-time wheelchair user living in the Carrville area of Durham.

I use a feeding peg daily and also a ventilator.
I am friendly and easy-going with a wide range of interests, including sports, cinema, watching TV, history, cookery, visiting new places, and going for coffees.

A candidate with similar sporting interests would be an advantage.
It is essential that you have a full clean driving license as I have my own wheelchair-adapted vehicle.
