I am Mark Rowland, and I am 52 years old. I live in Liverpool but I am originally from London. I came to Liverpool to study at the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts, where I completed a one-year foundation course in performing arts. I then went on to do a degree in commercial music production at Chester College in Warrington. I have been in Liverpool for 26 years.
I have a rare form of cerebral palsy (CP) known as athetoid, which affects my muscles and causes involuntary movements. I have trouble holding an upright position when seated, am unable to stand, and have difficulty with eating, drinking, and non-verbal communication. However, I am an easy person to get along with who enjoys having a laugh.
To live my life how I want, I use personal assistants 24/7 for support. I prefer to call it support rather than care, as my personal assistants help me achieve my goals without judging my decisions. I have two positions for personal assistants: one does a 24-hour shift, and the other does a 14-hour day shift starting at 8 am and finishing at 10 pm. There are breaks in between, and you can rest after completing your tasks.

- All aspects of personal care, including washing, dressing, and feeding.
- Assisting with medications.
- Housework and laundry.
- Meal preparation.
