Hi, I'm APM ambassador Ellie Cole and like many other people, I understand the unique experience of living with a disability. I've shared this experience through my time being an athlete and competing for Australia at the Paralympic Games. And I've met plenty of other people who have shared their experience on living with a disability or health condition too.
And one thing really comes through to me is that every experience of disability or health condition is very different, which is why I'm so excited to be meeting some of the APM team members who they themselves have a disability or health condition. And we'll talk about how that experience of their disability has helped them to enable better lives for people within their own communities.
The footy was on the TV, and it was on mute, and I lipread what the footy player said, and my mom was like, "Hang on a damn minute."
For the first 12 months after my daughter passed away, I hated everything in life.
About eight years ago I was told, "You won't be walking in six months time." Hold my beer. I'm going to prove you wrong.
