IMOGEN

Age: 13
Lives: Ferndown, Dorset
Comment: My name is Imogen, I am 13 and I live in Ferndown in Dorset with my Mum and Dad and my older sister Ellie who is just 15. I am unable to talk but I use a communication aid called a "minimo" which I shall bring on the trip with me. I also use Signalong (similar to Makaton) for getting across my point of view! I have never been skiing before and I am really nervous, but also quite excited as we talk about the trip a lot. I can be quite shy at first but once I get to know people I like to be the life and soul of the party! I love to eat, swim, trampolining, go bowling and to the cinema and I love animals. I recently won a national award (silver) at a trampolining competition and I also competed in the south west region disability swimming championships where I won 2 of my races. I also love music, particularly music that I can dance to such as Abba and anything that I hear on the radio. My favorite game is UNO and I shall be bringing my UNO cards in the hope that some of you will play with me!!

KIERAN

Age: 15
Lives: Marlow, Buckinghamshire
Comment: My friends call me Kizza, although I have no idea where they got that from! I love playing on my Xbox 360 and my favourite games are Call of Duty and Fifa 11. I'm an Everton fan, so any reds out there look out! My favourite sports are football and athletics, both quality sports I reckon and I 'm a member of Wycome Pheonix. I'm studying for my G.C.S.E.'s and aim to get into 6th form and hope to get into university and study something around History. I've only done a bit of skiing on dry ski slopes, so I have absolutely no idea what it's going to be like on real snow. I'm really looking forward to the ski trip and meeting new people.
