| Name: | Helen |
| Age: | 18 - 30 |
| Cause of deafblindness: | Usher Type 2 |
| Where they live: | North east England |
| Why they would like a penpal: | I would like a penpal particularly who has Usher. I do not know anyone who has this syndrome and at times I feel it can be quite isolating. I think it would be good to speak to someone who knows exactly what Usher is like. |
| About them: | I am 26 years of age. I have Usher type 2. Up to now I have led a fairly normal life. I like to keep fit by going to the gym and running. I enjoy going to the cinema and eating out. I am also a big Middlesbrough football club supporter. At the moment I am looking forward to planning my wedding for July 2008.. |
