Simon is a Dad in our school.

He wrote a wonderful script

for our Christmas pageant.

 

Five years ago Simon started

to write a movie.

It is called ‘My Name is Emily’.

 

He began writing it with a pen

or typing on a keyboard.

 

Because he has motor neuron disease

he finished it using

a special “eye gaze” computer

that allows him to type

by looking at letters on a screen.

 

He is now raising the money

to make this movie.

You can read more

of his inspiring story here.

 

He is our Local Hero.
