Hi everyone! Im Shannon and I have a form of cerebral palsy.
This year I have been crowned Miss Black Country and a Miss GB finalist. 
I want to use my platform to make a difference and raise awareness on disability.
I have created a petition online to raise awareness on how hard it is for disabled people at the moment with the cost of living rising.
If anyone is interested and would like to get involved, please take a look.

If anyone would like to chat or needs advice on anything, im always happy to chat!
