21.01.2022 Please SHARE SHARE SHARE! Sepsis KILLS more kids than car accidents. We all buckle our children into their safety car seats, we drive carefully and follow the ...road rules. Why doesnt every parent know about SEPSIS??????? I wish I had known: * Sepsis symptoms are like flu or gastro. It is called the "Silent Killer". * Sepsis happens very quickly!! * Sepsis kills! * It can happen to anyone! * If you or a family member are more unwell than you have ever seen them, go to hospital. * Ask "Could It Be SEPSIS?" and asked to be screened for sepsis. * Return to hospital if you are still concerned! #sepsis #sepsiskills #savelives #savelimbs #savechildren #coulditbesepsis

10.01.2022 Most of you will know since becoming an amputee I have wanted to share my love and passion for mountain biking with fellow amputees. Mountain bike riding played a big part in my healing process, especially mentally. I have now held two amputee ride days with the support of Camden Cycles, GreenValleys Mountain Bike Park, Southern Prosthetics And Orthotics and the Specialized Turbo Levo ebike demo fleet. Electric assist bikes make it possible for an amputee to have the power ... with Munjed Almuderis and 13 others. #iamspecialized #Levo #amputee #powertoridemoretrails #specialized #Camden_Cycles #Greenvalleysmountainbikepark #greenvalleysbikepark #Kenevo #Specialized_au #PMBIWhistler #pmbi #amputee #specialized_mtbamputee #Proffesionalmountainbikeinstructer #emountainbikenetwork #abilitytoride #specialized_au #sworks #Specializedbikes #spao_australia #maglockbikepedal See more

07.01.2022 Guest Panelist #3 Whilst travelling overseas Marny was hit by a train and sustained multiple injuries, including a traumatic above knee amputation. It was beli...eved that if Marny survived she would have no quality of life, but after her life support was turned off and she regained consciousness Marny started setting goals for herself and developing strategies to ensure she achieved her goals. Marnys three main goals were based around independence, working, and walking which took nine months, two years, and 16 years to achieve. Due to resilience and determination, Marny has been successful in many aspects of her life and continues to work as a Registered Nurse. Whilst Marny was regaining normality she became seeded Number 1 in Australia at wheelchair tennis and is the first person in the world to lengthen an amputated femur bone to meet criteria to be eligible for new technology and the osseointegration process. There were many things that Marny had to address after her accident and she felt the key to moving on is acceptance for if you dwell on whats been taken away you close yourself off to new avenues and opportunities. Marny cup is half full and there is not much that will prevent her from achieving her dreams as she focuses on potential solutions rather than on problems. Marny has written her memoir which is currently being edited and will be published towards the end of 2020, to help launch her into becoming a successful speaker who will inspire and influence others to: forge forward throughout life, embrace change; and do what it takes to overcome challenges, one step at a time. Following her horrific accident giving up was never an option for Marny whose determination, patience and persistence created an invincible combination for success. Marnys story reveals her attitude towards her change in circumstances and what it did for her. It describes how she personally discovered that life does not end just because your circumstances change. Marnys tenacity in overcoming challenges will help others to be resilient, adaptable and to recognize and use their full potential. Marny would like to share her positive and successful attitude into an environment that encourages others to not give up, do the best they can and live life as an exclamation. Marnys tenacity will impact positively on you and highlights two significant keynotes: Small steps in the right direction can create big outcomes; and the importance of forging forward and making the most of it as we cant always determine events that happen, but we can determine how we choose to respond to those events. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Thats a triple whammy of inspiring people who used their challenges to condition themselves.

05.01.2022 So Ive decided to swallow my pride a bit here and ask for help from my friends and family. As most already know, Im training these days in Triathlon with the... aim of competing at the Paralympics at Tokyo in 2020 and beyond. I have however picked a pretty expensive sport to build my life around, and am asking for donations to help get Twomey To Tokyo! With the international season quickly approaching Im seeking to raise funds for a few reasons; To help cover costs for a new cycling and running prosthetic not covered by the NDIS, flights and accommodation to races around the world and coaching fees. All donations through my Australian Sports Foundation page via https://www.teamtwomey.com.au/fundraising (link in bio) are tax deductible and greatly appreciated. If there is any corporate, marketing or product companies that are interested in joining Team Twomey please shout out, as Id love to do what I do with your support. If you cant donate that is fine, but if you could share it with your friends and family it would mean the world, as Im really going out on a limb here to ask for the help and support, so every action, big or small is appreciated! Thanks!
