A Wish Come True! Pushing The Limits Of Disabled Skiing With Make-A-Wish Australia
Posted on 14 Sep, 2023 in On the Slopes
On Tuesday, we teamed up with Make-A-Wish Australia & Disabled Wintersports Australia to make a wish come true. 14-year-old Daniel is adrenaline-obsessed and wished to visit Thredbo to push the limits of disabled skiing… Mission accomplished!
To make the day even more special, Paralympian Shannon Dallas was on board to be Dan’s ‘stoke buddy’ for the day as well as the amazing crew from DWA & Thredbo Ski Instructor Lachlan McMahon who is specially trained in adaptive ski instructing. In Daniel’s own words, “That was awesome. My confidence has grown immensely. I 100% want to do this again!”
We’re honoured that Daniel chose to visit Thredbo for his special wish! We have a feeling that this is only the start for his journey on the snow… Make sure to check out the full video above!
