Larapinta Adaptive Traverse

This July the "Lowest To Highest' all-abilities team attempt to traverse the whole 237km spine of Tjoritja/West MacDonnell Ranges on the challenging Larapinta Trail.
By walking the Larapinta and filming it we are not saying “Hey, look at us, aren’t we special.” That would be doing a disservice to all people with disabilities (PWDs) who’s skills might lie in other areas rather than the physical. Rather we are normalising disability to address, in our own small way, the shocking unemployment rate (in Australia some stats put it as high as 63%).
Hopefully someone who looks like us might see us and know that they’re not alone. That matters.
Added to this, by working together we will form a strong team, cooperating so each individual is able to go beyond their usual boundaries. In doing so, we will demonstrate how our disability does not define who we are and how co-operation makes us (everyone) whole. What is more, PWDs tend to be portrayed in just two lights: superhumans succeeding against all odds or victims in need of paternalism. There often is no middle ground. We aim to dispel that myth.
