My Story

Anthony became a quadriplegic after falling off his BMX bike when he was 19. He damaged a vertebra in his neck resulting in quadriplegia, “It’s not the road I wanted to be travelling down, but I can still do things. I don’t dwell on it,’’ he said. Anthony has represented Australia in wheelchair rugby and has a strong impact on students “Students sit in stunned silence, in a bit of shock usually. I wasn’t a whole lot older than them when I had my accident so they can relate to it. If I can change one life, I’ve done my job.’’
