    Flicking through todays paper I noticed that Darren Lomman won the WA young Australian of the year!



    He is the man behind the bike you may have seen which has retractable legs which enables paraplegics to ride, check out his site at http://www.dreamfit.com.au/ - it's a top effort, well done mate!

    Congradulations Mate thats fantastic,
    there'd be nothing worse than being told you can never ride again
    It is after all a great way of life / culture
    LIVE TO RIDE AND RIDE TO LIVE
    LET THOSE WHO RIDE DECIDE

    'Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out,
    shouting 'FUCK YEAH ...WHAT A RIDE!'

    REGRET NOTHING YOUVE DONE

    In case anyone has been following the work we have been doing, we have a big expo coming up on Dec 3 at the Perth Convention Centre.

    Sunday 3rd December is the United Nations International Day of a People with DisAbility. To celebrate this significant day, a 'Celebration of Ability' exhibition with over 5,500 square meters of exciting activities is being held at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre.

    Doors open from 9am and entry is FREE.

    The expo is a day full of fun and activities including inspirational guest speakers such as Paralympian Janet Shaw, a range of exciting exhibitors including the Disabled Surfers Association and a series of demonstrations such as the Wildcats competing in a Wheelchair Basketball, the Western Force in Wheelchair Rugby and the HockeyRoos in a Electric Wheelchair Hockey Match. There will also be a heap of interesting stuff on display such as a mouth controlled Playstation, a hand controlled motorcycle and a hand controlled driving simulator.

    For more info go to: www.celebrationofability.org.au

    Please pass this email or the poster attached onto anyone you know that may be interested.

    It’s free and EVERYONE is welcome so come on down to the Perth Convention Centre on 3rd Dec!!

    No amount of genius can overcome a preoccupation to detail.
