Achievements, Advocacy, and Appreciation
20 June 2024Hello everyone,
I wanted to update you on my recent activities and express my sincere gratitude for your support.
As a T54 Para-Athlete and Wheelchair Racer, I've been working hard despite a recent leg and hip injury, adapting my gym workouts and swimming frequently. Injuries are all a part of the journey.
Alongside my sport, I've been involved in advocacy, visiting schools in Northland and Auckland through the 'Seeing is Believing' initiative by Paralympics New Zealand. Seeing students embrace inclusivity and sports is inspiring and central to my mission of promoting accessibility for people with disabilities.
I’m thrilled to share that I recently won the 2024 North Harbour Club AIMES Award for Service to the Community. This recognition means a lot to me and is a testament to the hard work I put into both my athletic and advocacy efforts. It’s an honour to be acknowledged, and it motivates me to strive for excellence.
Working closely with my team—including my track coaches, strength and conditioning coaches, nutritionist, physiotherapist, and mental performance coach—I’m preparing for upcoming competitions later this year, determined to continue pushing boundaries in my sport.
I've extended my Givealittle campaign to allow more people to join me on this journey. Your support means everything to me. Together, we're making strides towards a more inclusive future.
Thank you for being part of this journey. Let's keep moving forward together!
Warm regards,
Jaden Movold
