What motivated you to join the Fitness for Life development team?

I joined to support the creation of inclusive, practical resources that empower young adults with cerebral palsy. Working closely with individuals like Brenton has shown me the value of tailored fitness in building confidence, independence, and wellbeing.

What do you hope the impact of this resource will be for young adults with cerebral palsy?

I hope it inspires young adults with CP to stay active, feel seen, supported, and see fitness as fun and a lifelong part of their well- being journey to achieve their goals - regardless of their ability. I want them to know that fitness can be. I also hope it builds community and encourages pride in personal progress.

What is your favourite physical activity to participate in at the moment, and why?

I like working out at the gym and doing pilates - I love feeling like I have done a good workout
