Question

His disability came without any medical explanation - a rare occurrence

called Phocomelia - and Nick and his parents spent many years asking why this

cruel trick would happen to them. 'My mother was a nurse and she did everything

right during pregnancy but she still blamed herself,' he said.

'It was so hard for them but right from the start they did their best to make

me independent. '

'My dad put me in the water at 18 months and gave the courage to learn

how to swim. '

'I also got really into football and skateboarding. I totally love the English

Premier League.'

Nick's father was a computer programmer and accountant and he taught

his little son how to type with his toe at just 6 years old. His mum invented a

special plastic device that meant he could hold a pen and pencil.

Despite the risk of being bullied, his parents insisted Nick on attending

mainstream school. 'It was the best decision they could have made for me, ' adds

Nick, who later achieved a degree in Financial Planning and Real Estate. 'It was

very hard but it gave me independence.'

Nick, who was teased and bullied, had an electric wheelchair for mobility,

and a team of carers to help him.

'I was deeply depressed when I was eight years old,' he said. 'I went to my

mum crying and told her I wanted to kill myself. '

'I felt cold and bitter. I hated God for doing this to me and was terrified of

what would happen when my parents weren’t there to look after me. '

'I could brush my own teeth with a wall mounted brush and wash my own

hair with pump action soap, but there was so much that was impossible for me.'​
