The #AllforJoe charity aims to provide financial support through various fund raising to enable disabled people to participate in sports and/arts, encouraging inclusion and integration with abled bodied groups. We hope to educate coaches and fellow athletes on session modifications to allow for integration and to make sure everyone understands how important it is that everyone is included. We hope to help set up more varied sessions for ppl with disabilities to encourage participation and overall by doing all of the above we hope to improve the well being of people and help improve mental health.
Joe fought so so hard to be included. We travelled far and wide for Joe to reach his dreams yet if he was abled bodied he could have travelled 5 mins up the road. Not everyone is able to dedicate time and money to ensure inclusion to reach their dreams. Joe was an outstanding swimmer and footballer (he even out ran most of his classmates) yet he spent all of his life fighting to earn his place in society. If he did bad he was taunted for being disabled and rubbish... when he did good he was picked on as society felt threatened by him! What a world
Everyone deserves to be treat equally and with dignity. Everyone needs purpose and a dream... what is life without a dream!
We proudly stood side by side with Joe for 16 yrs... fighting hard for him to be accepted and included hoping the world would one day see just how amazing and inspirational our Joe was. We were lucky to see him shining every single day and we want to help others like Joe to shine and be shown the kindness and dignity our Joe deserved.
