The real life story of a boy with an incurable lung disease, and his seemingly impossible dream to overcome it. His self-belief resulting in the realisation of his dream.

18th Anniversary celebrations

Hi all,

Well I guess I could not possibly let my 18th transplant anniversary pass without celebrating it in style. Thanks to my new mate "Dennis"owner of the Hellova Jet Boat found down at the Glenelg Mariner pier, along with a boatful of family and friends I went for one Hell of a ride! On Saturday March 1st which signalled the 18 year mark since my transplant, and capped it off by purchasing a Hellova Jet Boat "Polo"top! Recently I and a Photographer from the Local Messenger newspaper met Dennis down at the pier, who kindly took us out on the water for some great shots to go with an article on my anniversary. In summary I was over the moon to reach my 18th transplant anniversary and be passed fit & healthy recently at a doctors appointment. I'm walking half an hour per day on the treadmill and maintaining left leg hamstring exercises allowing me to improve my walking further! Once again many thanks to Dennis & the team at Hellova Jet Boat for the "wicked" Jet Boat experience!

When the self-belief begins so does the journey towards my goals & dreams
