"As an active member of the 'Road Show' Presentation Team, I receive a great deal of personal satisfaction in knowing our message may be responsible for saving someone from the trauma of permanent injury or death."

John became paraplegic after a scuba diving accident in early 2004.

Last year John clocked up many Roadshow Presentations and loves the opportunity to interact with young people, share some wheelchair basketball skills and talk about the dangers of risk taking on the road.

As a young fella he played Rugby League in New Zealand and competition squash then tried his hand at baseball as pitcher for Hurstville United.

During his free time you can often find him on the Tennis court or on the Basketball field.

John is also interested in scuba diving, golf and recently applied for a Suzzi Duncan Scholarship, sponsored by Wheelies with Wings to attain a full unrestricted licence.
