Feel Good Friday

A special Feel Good Friday today as one of our young members, Colbie-Kate (12, PA) has written a brilliant blog post for LHM about what it's like having half a heart. (As part of our Handmade Hearts series, LHM’s young members talk about life with half a heart. To learn more about Handmade Hearts, click here.)

Colbie-Kate has written a great blog about why young people with half a heart should celebrate who they are and be happy.

"Just recently I moved to secondary school where I had to get an electric wheelchair because the school's just so big. I never had to use a wheelchair in the past, so it was hard but I wanted a good education. Yeah, people were mean, but I told someone and it was sorted, and now I am in Secondary school and yeah, it’s strange, but it’s what’s going to help, and I’m proud of myself for giving in and using it, but now it feels normal. "
