Providing opportunities to realise the potential in ourselves and others
Wow what a weekend!
On the 19th and 20th of August the Climbing NZ National Lead Championships was held at Extreme Edge, Glen Eden. This year was the first time that Para/Adaptive climbers participated in an offical Climbing NZ event.
Yep, as usual I’m busy!
On Saturday I spent the day raising money for Assistance Dogs New Zealand Trust outside Pak ‘N’ Save, Palmerston North. I had a great but tiring day talking to people about the role ADNZ Ben plays in my life and how some of the other amazing dogs are changing lives for New Zealand families. Once again I am humbled by the generosity of Palmy Nth.
Its that time of year again, where those of us with Assistance Dogs NZ Trust Dogs get out and raise some funds to help other New Zealanders have better lives with the help of these amazing dogs.
If you can spend a few hours tomorrow or Saturday please get in touch with Wendy at the above numbers, we’d love to hear from you. Some of the sites around the country may not run because we don’t have enough people to help out. It takes a huge amount of time and money to get these dogs ready and out to families and we can’t do it without your help!

Just a quick note to let those in the Mid Central region that there is going to be a Disabled Person’s meeting on Tues the 25th July from 10 am till 12 noon at the Easie Living center on Main St. Just a bit of a get together to discuss the upcoming Enabling Good Lives forum on August 1st. This should give some clear direction as to what the community wants to see in their Leadership Group before heading in to the EGL forum.
Be good to see you there!
On Wednesday I attended the Mid Central System Transformation hui. This hui was held as an opportunity for disabled people/people with disability/people with impairments/etc (use your preferred terminology/label) to have our input into “transforming” the way Disability Support Services are delivered and accessed.
Hey everyone. Welcome to the AntnzVentures page. I’ll be blogging, adding trip albums & reports and talking about adaptive outdoors & fitness tricks and tips to enable people to make the most of what they’ve got.
Please bear with me as I develop this site, making and maintaining a website is new to me so I may stumble along at times (which sounds a bit like my walking to be honest! Haha) but I’ll figure it out as I go and if you’ve got any ideas or things you’d like to see please let me know, either through comments or drop me an email (see the “Contact Details” link).
Looking forward to seeing this develop and thanks for all those that have supported and encouraged me in my slightly crazy endeavors!
