Why I’m Pushing Myself

from the 30th September to the 6th of October , I will be taking part in the Undefeated Challenge to support the  CommBank ParaMatildas and Pararoos. For seven days, I'll be pushing my limits by walking, running, swimming, or riding as far as I can. 

I grew up playing soccer and it was a huge part of my life. But after acquiring a brain injury from encephalitis and a stroke 3 years ago, I lost the ability to walk let alone play soccer. The ParaMatildas, however, gave me a new goal to strive for. After lots of rehab and training I was selected into the squad. It has been hard adjusting to living with a disability and it comes with  a lot of challenges. The team has, however, not only let me play the sport I love again but given me a community where I feel supported and comfortable in my disability. 

I would love you to join the challenge as a part of the team 'Kicking Goals!' (https://www.undefeatedisforever.com.au/fundraisers/becjones/undefeated-challenge)

Any support and involvement is appreciated immensely and will make a huge difference to getting the ParaMatildas and Pararoos to Spain in November to compete at the IFCPF World World Cup!
