Despite enduring chemotherapy and over twenty surgeries, his right hip had to be removed.The realisation of not being able to move the way he used to hit him hard. He endured serious depression and felt isolated from his peers. At the age of sixteen, he took up wheelchair tennis. He represented Australia numerous times on the world stage, including at two summer Paralympics. He was ranked Australia’s #1 Wheelchair tennis champion and #8 in the world before retiring.Outside of his athletic accomplishments, he has also embarked on a deep journey of self-reflection.
