A day in the life About William and the Trust Who is William Hi, I'm Will Rowden and I'm 15 years old. When I was 8 I was on holiday with my family in Cornwall when I suffered a bleed in my spinal cord, damaging the nerve pathways. This has left me paralysed from the chest down but I can move my legs a bit due to hours of physiotherapy I do every day. I used to do a lot of art and pottery to help strengthen my hands and I do a Christmas card every year to help raise money for my trust. I started playing the drums three years ago and I love music. I'm in a funk-rock band with my brother Matt and Toby Hedges, a mate from school called the Jumbo Jay Daniforz and my dream is to one day get a record deal and play in front of thousands of people. I go to the gym two or three days a week with a personal trainer. This really helps with my strength and I enjoy going. Copyright © 2006-2008 Spinal Bleeds Trust. All rights reserved.
