Teddy’s Tremendous Travels on the Journey

For the readers who followed and/or took part in ‘The Journey’, you are unlikely to have missed James and his ‘Teddy’s Tremendous Travels’.

James, who is 11 and has essential tremor, took part in NTF awareness campaign "The Journey", but with a twist - he took with him his childhood teddy bear and got some great photos.

James' mother, Sarah, would like to thank everyone who kindly supported him. She said ‘The Journey’ made a positive difference to increasing James' confidence, especially when he gave a presentation to his school form.
