Dre's Story

How joining Newbiggin Boxing Club transformed my life

Dre's story!! ( a short documentary)

14 years ago my son Dre was born!

A few years later we started realising that he was a little bit different and then found out that he had Autism

I have to be honest with you it was a scary place to be me and his Mam didn't know what to do!

Dre pushed on and didnt let it bother him at all until he got to high school and started to get bullied for having Autism  this day in age you would think it doesn't happen but belive me it does!

He asked to go to boxing and he chose to go to Newbiggin Boxing Club who have been absolutely remarkable with him I can't thank them all enough!!

A few months ago NCFE contacted me to do a little documentary on Dre and below is what the came up with to share his story 

It all goes to show that you can push your self to do anything you want you just have to want it more!

Dont ever let anyone tell you that you can't!

Autism is Dre's superpower 

Anyone suffering stand tall you got this!!!

This is his story
