This month Colchester United Community Foundation will be inviting Noah and his family to a Colchester United game at the JobServe Community Stadium as their guests to celebrate Noah’s bravery and determination on a day-to-day basis.
Noah is an amazing 8-year-old boy who goes through so much and has done so since he was born. He has Down Syndrome and a number of medical conditions, one being a rare hip condition called Perthes disease, which affects his day-to-day life. It’s a challenge for Noah’s parents to adapt his day-to-day activities to protect his hip, and this includes limiting activities that include running and jumping for a long periods of time. Noah suffers great pain from basic movement; however, he is always so happy and continues trying. He never complains and just tackles every challenge in his life in the most positive amazing way!
Noah is also forever in and out of hospital at appointments, scans, blood tests, X-rays and check-ups and yet he never complains and is an inspiration to everyone!
He has just started the Disability Football Session with Colchester United Community Foundation on a Thursday night at Shrub End and absolutely loves it! He even received the player of the week on his first session which made him beyond happy and he keeps asking to go back every day!
Noah is his parents’ little champion!
We’re excited to offer Noah the opportunity to meet the Colchester United players and lead the team out at a fixture very soon!
Do you know a Community Champion? If so look out for our November Community Champion nominations that will be shared very soon.
We look forward to welcoming more Community Champions to the JobServe Community Stadium each month for the rest of the season.
