Wheelchair basketball from coma to competitor

 

Ryan is 6'7" and needs a customised wheelchair to play basketball and achive his goal of the 2020 para olympics.

 

In 2012 he was in a car accident and fractured his back in 3 places from L3 to L5 and ended up with an ABI “acquired brain Injury”. 

He had to learn everything again from scratch like walking, talking and eating.

 

"Its been one hell of a journey. I finished my rehab in May this year. " writes Ryan

This year he started playing wheelchair basketball but being 6”7 he needs his own chair.

 

Ryan's friends, family and community are getting on board to assist him with buying a specialised sports wheelchair so he can stay fit and achieve his sporting dreams. 

 

mycause assists Australians to crowdfund for a wheelchair and raise money online to compete and represent in their chosen sport for their club, State or country.
