BRAVE WILLIAM MAGEE
LAUNCHES 'ANYONE CAN...'
William Magee, like many other 9 year old kids, is a superhero
fan. Unlike most other 9 years olds though, William faces a
superhero sized challenge in the form of Duchenne, a terminal
muscle wasting condition that is likely to see him lose the
ability to walk before he is 12 and unable to do simple things
like having a drink or giving his mum a hug. With the heart
being a muscle, as his condition progresses, William will need
a machine just to breathe, but because the brain is not, he will
remain aware of what he faces.
William’s response to finding out about his condition was more
akin to his superhero idols, and with a bravery belying his age,
William decided he wanted to set up his own business to raise
funds so he can fulfil life ambitions that we take for granted but
which he will miss out on, whilst also creating a legacy fund to
help others facing similar challenges both now and in the future.
If the product of a business is a mark of its character, then the
t-shirts William now sells are a testament to this brave young
26 wirrallife.com
man. The business logo is a stick man of William’s own design,
which he called the ‘Anyone Can Man' and he says it symbolises
the belief that people can do anything. All the t-shirts sold are
designed by William, who plans to use the ‘Anyone Can Man’
accompanied with a positive message so his products inspire
others.
On 9th December 2018 'Anyone Can' was officially launched at
The Barn, Heswall, along with the first range of t-shirts with the
fitting positive message that ‘Anyone can be a hero’. The t-shirts
come in a variety of colours and sizes for adults (£12) and children
(£10) and can be ordered by emailing [email protected],
calling 07724 742488 or online www.thebarnwirral.co.uk.
