Ross is living his dream!

One of the With Kids ambassadors, Ross Morrison, who is a very talented athlete and was a Coca Cola Flames torch bearer in the Olympic Torch Relay has been living his dream.

Find out in this blog post how Ross has overcame his own personal struggles to become a professional basketball player and believes that all children deserve a chance to fulfil their dreams...

Recently there has been a lot happening with our young ambassador. His parents moved to be closer to him but he's left the country!

He got the opportunity to go to Dallas for a few days to meet up with his cousins and to give him a much needed break from the hectic year he'd just had. 

By chance while he was on holiday, he got spotted!

He has been asked to go back for 3 months and to train and play for TX Bluechips in the Summer Tournaments in Los Angeles and Las Vegas which has been an absolutely amazing opportunity for him!

He also met one of the former Glasgow Rocks players Rob Yanders whose team Ross was playing against.

So much for the guy who joined a basketball club over here and was told he would never play and remain a printer.

The young star has said that no matter how often someone says you can't try for your dream, if it's within reach, then go for it! 

Sometimes it just happens when you are not expecting it - so never give up!

After everything Ross has been through trying to become a basketball player it's taken a world class coach and a chance meeting to spot his true potential.

We hope you enjoy the photos of Ross going all out and living his dream!

We are currently running a competition on the With Kids Facebook, Twitter and Instagram using the #WKMemories where you could win an overnight's stay for two at the CitizenM Hotel in Glasgow.

You can choose to upload an old photo, or you can take one of a place which you remember fondly from your childhood - it's completely up to you! To find out more about the competition please click HERE.

Picture Perfect Competition from With Kids

At With Kids, we’re lucky to have some of Scotland’s most influential people as our ambassadors.

And one of our ambassadors, photographer, David Eustace, has agreed to help raise awareness of the work we do by putting his name to a photograph competition we’ve launched.

Launched at the beginning of this week, the online competition is aimed at encouraging the public to reminisce and share their favourite childhood memory.

Photographs are a great way of capturing memories, and with award-winning photographer growing up in the east end of Glasgow, which is seeing a huge transformation at the moment for the Glasgow 2014 games, he liked the idea of remembering the great times he had in a landscape which is quickly changing.

Nothing stays the same for forever. We all have memories of a time or place which can’t be revisited. Our competition is designed to help everyone remember a fond moment in their life, a moment that would bring a smile to their face.

Eustace said: “I jumped at the chance to judge this competition. Coming from the east end, I felt a real importance to be a part of this project. I take my role at With Kids really seriously, and anything which will benefit the charity, the work it does, and the children who use it is great.

“I think this is a great competition as it gives kids the opportunity to find out about what it was like to grow up in Glasgow when their parents were young. Not only that, it encourages them to learn more about photography, which you know is close to my heart too.”

Running for two weeks, the competition is dead easy to enter. It’s all done online, either on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, it’s up to you. Just remember, whatever social media platform you use though, you have to use the hashtag, #WKmemories.

Once the competition has closed, Eustace has agreed to go through all the entries and judge which one he thinks should be our winning image.

And thanks to the great people at the CitizenM Hotel, our winner will receive an overnight stay for two, in plush Glasgow boutique hotel.

If you’d like to take part in the competition, you can find the terms and conditions here.

For more information about the competition, just click here. In addition, you can watch the video below, where David speaks about the competition and one of his memories.

Good luck to all of you who enter, we’re looking forward to seeing your entries.
