My Story

Having played international rugby for Australia, Super rugby for the Western Force and Melbourne Rebels, along with stints in England and France, I am no stranger to the discipline and rigour required to play elite sport.

However after being diagnosed with cystic fibrosis (CF) at three months of age, and being told I may not make it to my tenth birthday, I am constantly pushing the boundaries and am living proof that anything is possible.

My Mission

My mission is to inspire by sharing my story to show that anything is possible and create a wider awareness of Cystic Fibrosis

My mission in life has always been to do what people think is impossible. With the attitude that “I will”, I truly believe that you can achieve anything you set out for yourself. I aspire to share this positive mindset on to everyone that I can.

It is also my mission to create a wide awareness of Cystic Fibrosis so there is an increased understanding of how it affects lives. I aim to do this by completing physical exercise events and sharing my journey along the way to show that anyone can achieve and to raise much needed funds that will go towards the ‘Nathan Charles Grant’ advancing research of how exercise is beneficial in people with CF. Last but not least, it is my personal mission to truly exceed the life expectancy of 37 years (which is the life expectancy of people with CF)
