When asked recently if I felt I was part of a disability movement, I was one of only a few people that said no. I have been part of the disabled community for the last 18 years and it’s been my work for more than 10 years, so why did I say no?...
Aotearoa New Zealand offered the perfect opportunity to indulge something else that I enjoy - adrenaline.
