We are back with our STARGARDT’S STARS!⭐
Every month, we will be featuring a community member - our Stargardt’s Stars!
Stargardt’s is a rare condition, and besides our needs, our community has unique skills and are incredible individuals!
So please meet Zayd! Zayd is 12 years old. He has a passion for football. His favourite subjects at school are Maths, Geography and History and he has a real passion for maps and factual information about the countries of the world and their histories. He has an excellent memory and spends a lot of time reading and listening to audiobooks. He got diagnosed at age 7, and though the Stargardt’s journey has had its expected ups and downs, Zayd’s sense of humour, positivity and approach to life has really helped him accept it. He aims to be a diplomat when he’s older. He was recently on a BBC radio interview which they later published too. Check the interview: www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hereford-worcester-68144749
We are proud of you and wish you the best, Zayd!
Our Stargardt’s community is full of brilliant people. Stay tuned to meet more of our shining Stars soon. ⭐
PD: Zayd is smiling and drinking a water bottle at a restaurant.
