It's wonderful to hear from Shaun. I am sure that we all want him to know that we continue to support him and always will.I've just been contacted by Shaun Malone. He would like to pass on his thanks to everyone for their support and well wishes over the last couple of years.
Shaun is now 21 and a football coach

"At times as a young kid when you're trying so hard to try to get better you can start feeling pretty down on the way things are," said Malone.
"A role model like that [Carrick] coming in, it uplifted me, it uplifted everyone."
The engaging Malone hopes he can give back to those suffering like he did.
"I would love to inspire people in similar fashion (as his first coach at Ability Counts did) and have them look up to me."
