Wait??? It’s Febuary 2025 already??
Kia ora whanau,
Yes its been a long time since I got behind the keyboard and wrote something for you all. It hasn’t been the lack of wanting to write, 2024 was a bit of a whirlwind to say the least.
Since my last post I have been somewhat busy, between a new job that has been constantly evolving, discovering my love of running and walking events and a passion for refereeing a slightly obscure but very under-rated sport. With all this, I travelled to Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga, Hamilton, Whanganui, Wellington, Christchurch, Rotorua, Taupo and Adelaide. I’ve presented at conferences, delivered training, gone to wānanga, completed 3 half-marathons and refereed both the New Zealand and Australian National Goalball championships. So it wasn’t easy to find time to write as well, I actually have to sleep and rest! This year I am hoping that I will be able to manage my time a bit better and write as well. So the blogs might be a little shorter, but I at least want to update you with what is going on. I’ve got 5 events planned this year, working up to the full marathon distance, I’ve blocked out time to referee both NZ & Austrailian Goalball Championships and d I have a more permanent role which is building a network for disabled people to identify solutions to the barriers we experience accessing Family and Sexual Violence prevention and response services at VisAble.
