It seems only fair I share a little bit about me.
I was born in Cambridge, in the UK, in 1993. I didn't live in Cambridge though. I lived on the outskirts, with my parents and three big sisters, in a little village called Shepreth. Would you believe one of the things the village was most famous for (before me!) was sheep washing? Yep, people herding sheep to Cambridge stopped in our little village to give them a bath. So, I basically grew up in a launderette for sheep. I was always running, jumping and moving about as a little kid. I loved to eat apples from my gran’s tree, I loved learning and school, but mostly I loved football. My grandpa on Mum’s side, who I never met (but was named after), was a keen player and a real inspiration to me. Just knowing I had someone like him in my family sparked my interest in playing football - which started me on my sport-loving path. My sisters taught me loads too. They were always competitive with me and challenged me to discover what I was good at (or not so good at). This included bike riding, nail painting and atomic wedgies.

Then, when I was five, I got an illness called meningitis, which is when the lining around your brain and spinal column gets infected and acts up big time. After being put into a coma, the doctors managed to get the meningitis under control (phew), but complications from the illness led to a load of pressure building up in my leg (uh-oh). I won't bore you with all the medical details, but this meant the doctors had to amputate my leg to save my life.
It was really tough to begin with. For starters, I had to learn to walk all over again. To run, jump, move and play football all over again. It was also tricky because, as you know, when you're a kid you just want to be the same as everyone else. And now I was different. But luckily for me, I had the most amazing support and I worked hard to get to grips with my new leg. Finally, after a while, I learned to cope.
TO JUST DO WHAT I COULD DO AND EVENTUALLY COME OUT THRIVING. TO WALK AGAIN SO I COULD RUN.

I will look around the text to find the section after Jonnie’s amputation. It states: ‘It was really tough to begin with.’ This suggests the hardest part was at the start when he just had his amputation and that he became more hopeful as time went on.
