Thomas and Daniel unforgettable Old Trafford and Carrington experiences

“For the whole week until it actually happened, it didn’t feel real,” continued Kayleigh. “They lost their heads when Adam told them and were so excited. Thomas was crying his eyes out – with happiness! It was phenomenal, absolutely life changing.

“We had such an intimate experience. As the players were coming out after training, Daniel was shouting the players’ names at the top of his voice. They were all individually greeting us and giving us cuddles, handshakes – we got those special moments with them.”

Thomas and Daniel were chosen for the initial opportunity of watching the Everton fixture by Adam, citing their exceptional attitude, enthusiasm and personalities, during sessions.
Daniel in particular, who lives with cerebral palsy, is admired by all around for him, for his resilience and determination.

On his condition, Kayleigh added: “Daniel is affected with his mobility, he has quadriplegic cerebral palsy to all four limbs.

“But he has always been so resilient and finds his own way around everything. Whatever he wants or needs to do, he gets on with it and does it – between his walker and wheelchair.
