Radio DJ with cerebral palsy inspires school pupils

Radio Cumbria

A young radio DJ with cerebral palsy has given his first assembly at his old school, speaking to pupils about his journey and following his passion, whatever the obstacles.

Harrison Holmes, 23, from Barrow-in-Furness realised his dream last year when he was invited to BBC Radio 2 to meet his hero, Michael Ball.

Since then he has continued hosting his weekly show at volunteer-run Radio Lonsdale and now wants to help others to follow their dreams.

"We thought if we came today and we inspired just one child in the audience to follow their dreams, then we've smashed it," said Jo Holmes, Harrison's mam.
