Let’s do a run ‘Wings for Life’, at 11pm at night, on a Sunday!! Ha ha, sounds like madness, but it’s for a good cause. All the proceeds from WFLWR event goes to spinal research, what a great cause. It was raining, my squirrel suit head was smashing on my glasses (hurting my nose), and
Without sounding to pretentious, it’s all about me! What a great opportunity for me, and for other wheelchair users (or anyone that needs catheter products), to see someone who uses these products. I was happy and privileged to help promote these catheters, as I personally use them, and find them great. I’m lucky enough to
Crazy, I was on Attitude TV last week, and again this week! Yeah I loved making both episodes. The end of this one has a great message, hard to believe it’s me saying it! Onwards and upwards from ZoomZoom mk1, to… more š Looking forward to saying yes to more activities, doing more, and creating
First (or two) episodes of me being on BulletProof/AttitudeTv. I was lucky enough to be filmed last year and interviewed about my life and my story. So great to be able to share some of my experiences and hopefully encourage others to do more with their lives. This first episode was more about me and
What a great day! Steve is a friend from several years ago, we’ve been friends since before I broke my back, so it was my pleasure to be his celebrant. Kelsi is a lovely lady and so great to see them together now. They invited a few select people to their house for the ceremony,
What a crazy few days it’s been! Only a couple of months ago, Chris McMurray asked the Auckland Mini Car Club if anyone was interested in being his navigator. I thought “surely other people will be keen”, but no-one was. So I asked a few questions, and found myself getting a AASA race licence… Eeek,
Once again, I had the privilege of assisting with the Right Track program. The Right Track provide a program that enables at risk youth to see the error of their ways, the ripple effect and consequences of actions. I believe this really does impact their risk assessment and their ability to make better choices. This
Another year and another silly costume, the squirrel rides again! ThisĀ Southern Cross Round the Bays event can only be put on because of the people that volunteer to make this event possible. A big thank you to them as well. I’m proud to be entertaining the people, the children and other runs dressed as the
After getting my MotorsportNZ race license last year, I was given an opportunity at the last Auckland Mini Club meeting. One of our members asked if there was anyone that wanted to help co-drive his Mk1 1969 Mini in Targa Rally in 6 weeks. I thought about it, and after the meeting asked Chris a
After being asked by Kimberly Graham “Grab Your Wheels” to participate in this audit of some pathways and cycle ways, how could I refuse. It was so good going out through Pakuranga Rotary path and checking to see how suitable it is for wheelchair users for AT. Also how suitable for different types of wheeled
