About the Author

My name is Ewan. I’m 21 years old. I was born with CP also known as cerebral palsy. CP is a disability that means I spend the majority of my time in a wheelchair. Because of this, I have found that I am stared at and scrutinised a lot by the public for looking a little bit different.

I have the same ideas and thoughts as most others my age. I enjoy watching football, going out with friends and listening to music. I have the same interests and conversations as everyone else, and I’m tired of being treated differently just because of my disability.

I have started a company called ‘Ewaneye Presentations’. My aim is to educate school children of all ages about different disabilities, and how they can help to make those individuals lives a little easier. I believe in a ‘don’t walk away, come say hey’ approach. I hope to bridge the social gap between those with disabilities and those without.

‘My Family My Life’ is the second book I have written for Carers WA.

I hope you enjoy this book as much as I have writing it!
