Jade's son, LJ, was born with severe brain damage
A Nottinghamshire beauty business owner is launching a charity after her son was turned down from joining a football team because of his disabilities. Jade Gray, 36 and from Sutton-in-Ashfield, owns Acut Above the Rest, a beauty salon located on Outram Street.
She said: "There's no activities he can go to because of his condition so I took him to a football team that was supposedly for all abilities. He absolutely loved it but then the coach said they can't cater for him because of his disabilities."It absolutely broke his heart and mine so setting up this charity - LJ's Sports Community - is very close to my heart. I want my son to go to football or boxing without it being a problem.
This is not the first project that prompted Jade to achieve great milestones. In 2015, she bought Acut Above the Rest for £250 from a lady who did mobile hairdressing and kept progressing from there, now having won several awards recognising her and her business's work and dedication. "I wanted to show other women that you can succeed in any circumstances and you can follow your dreams no matter what. It was a very difficult time as I didn't know how he was going to be disabled, or even if he was going to survive.
