Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page and supporting this amazing initiative.
These incredible athletes live with their disability every day, and inspire us with their passion and performance. To support these athletes I am committing to do it for just one day in a wheelchair at work.
Please support me as I support these amazing athletes
Research
shows there is a 30% participation gap in sport, recreation and social programs
between people with a physical disability and their able bodied peers. Our aim
is to narrow this gap. We want children and adults with a physical disability
to have the same opportunities as their able bodied peers. Having a disability
should not impact on your ability to lead a full and happy life.
Donating through JustGiving is
simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving –
they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll
send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to
donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
Why am I doing this?
I am passionate about creating a culture of Kindness in society and I am passionate about all sport and in-particular how sport is a gateway to inclusion.
Having had sporting success at a high level so I know firsthand how it can positively shape an individual.
I was initially invited to participate in all my sports by friends who cared and took an interest in me.
I want to see more people engaging in sport and healthy lifestyles.
Individuals with a disability deserve those same opportunities to succeed in their sport of choice.
Disability Sports Australia is that friend to many - inviting them in to play.
I want to be a part of the circle of friends that gets more disabled individuals included in activity across all sports.
Thank you so much for your support.
Kind regards,
Craig.
