RDA is giving me back what I left behind in Waikato Hospital 5 years ago. This is giving me the opportunity to give back to RDA.

Bay of Plenty

After surviving a brain aneurysm in 2014, I slowly accepted there were going to be some things I'd never be able to do. There have been some bonus's. I have been lucky enough to befriend Kathy Anderson, Pauline Taylor and Liz Gordon, Papamoa locals that have all survived stroke and brain injury. Kathy, Pauline and I are riding at Tauranga RDA. Our nearest and dearest are amazed at the changes in our co-ordination, and overall well-being. So much so that I am now able to volunteer at RDA, working with children with challenges, I am fortunate enough to bear witness to miraculous changes to precious wee lives. We are working as a team to complete the Mt Everest Challenge, with the support of friends and more team members, our team will achieve 38 summits in the 50 days. Your sponsorship has the power to dramatically improve "quality of life" for so many people living with disability. Ultimately every dollar raised will lessen the waiting list and enable those in need to access RDA's incredible therapy.

As both a disabled rider and a volunteer I get to see and benefit from the tremendous therapy RDA provides.
