So grateful for the incredible welcome at Arcare today! Loved sharing my Wheelchair Meets Wilderness journey and answering so many thoughtful questions—and having my grandma right there in the front row made it extra special. A massive thank you to everyone who picked up a book and supported with donations! ❤️

I’ve set another outrageous goal, to sell 1,000 books by the end of the year and donate the proceeds to Menzies Institute of Medical Research. Which will be about $20,000, bringing us to a total of $30,000 donated by the end of 2026.

If you haven’t purchased your book yet and you’d like to, you can order via the link in my bio.

If you have an event that I could come to, speak at and sell my book, please send me a message.

I’d also love to be a guest on any podcasts.

Tag anyone who could help out below. Let’s smash this goal together.

I’m in disbelief about last Sunday afternoon. The launch of my memoir Wheelchair Meets Wilderness. What a gorgeous afternoon filled with community, great food, smiles and a few tears (not just from me).

It’s still a bit of a blur really. And I can’t believe my book is in people’s hands. It’s wild waiting for people to read it 🤯

All proceeds from the sale of the book are going to MS research. You can purchase it via the link in my bio.

Thank you to everyone who made or brought food, helped set out chairs, set up, organised music, coordinated tech, helped carry things and sat at the door and sold books. And special mention to Andy who took responsibility for the food.

And finally to everyone who came along, to everyone who has sponsored, donated, shared my story, bought my book, thank you. I couldn’t do this without you.

Morpheus Publishing believed in me and offered me a scholarship to get my story out to the world.

Thanks to Kirstie-lee for spending the afternoon with us and taking these gorgeous snaps.
