Ellie: Hi, I'm APM ambassador Ellie Cole
and like many other people,
I understand the unique experience
of living with a disability.
I've shared this experience through my time being an athlete
and competing for Australia at the Paralympic Games.
And I've met plenty of other people
who have shared their experience
on living with a disability or health condition too.
And one thing really comes through to me
is that every experience of disability or health condition
is very different, which is why I'm so excited
to be meeting some of the APM team members
who they themselves have a disability or health condition.
And we'll talk about how that experience of their disability
has helped them to enable better lives
for people within their own communities.
Bree: The footy was on the TV, and it was on mute,
and I lipread what the footy player said,
and my mom was like, "Hang on a damn minute."
Christine: For the first 12 months after my daughter passed away,
I hated everything in life.
Graham: About eight years ago I was told,
"You won't be walking in six months time."
Hold my beer.
I'm going to prove you wrong.
