Spinal cord injury survivor looking for support and companionship to live my best life.
Me
Hi folks I’m Niall, a fun, sociable and active guy in his early 40s. Adventure and challenge have always been at the heart of everything I do. In 2020 my life changed forever when a tumble on my mountain bike left me paralysed from the shoulders down. My body has changed but my approach to life remains the same.
Being outside makes me happy. I enjoy rolls around my local area, countryside and beach in my all terrain wheelchair. You can also find me uptown making the most of city life, hitting the shops and enjoying cafe culture. Friends and family are extremely important to me. My social life is busy with pints, dinners and regular outings in my van. Exercise is my rock. Regular physio, gym and PT keep me sane.
A Day in the Life
Morning
Your days will be varied and busy. I require support in all aspects of my daily life. Mornings are all go (don’t worry there is two of you). Feed me, wash me, stretch me. I like to look good and so does my home so spruce me up and get things spik and span. Next on the agenda will be physio or getting me up on my feet.
Afternoon
Now that’s done, a quick lunch and the world’s our oyster.
Evening
If I’m not out, rustle me up a nice dinner. Then it’s chill time in front of the TV. This is the time for you to get ahead of the game, get prepped for bed time and the day ahead. A final flourish will have me tucked up in bed then it’s sleep time for both of us and I will see you in the morning.
