Brain Injuries with Iain Watkins (Brain Injury NZ)

Back in April I had an accident (see thumbnail) and it left me with a concussion which made things tough.

Hobbling to Greymouth (accessible tourism)

Going for a holiday or tiki tour is pretty great but how is it if you've got movement challenges? I'm currently in that situation so challenged myself to get to Māwhera Greymouth and learnt about the obstacles and support available.
