25.01.2022 Fantastic work by 15 year old Waryk Holmes! Pushing through 21kms on his Top End racing chair and winning in his age group is no small feat.

25.01.2022 Congratulations to Amy Tobin on smashing out an incredible 42.4km in the Gold Coast Virtual Marathon on her Top End racing chair! Amazing work, Amy.

25.01.2022 Its really important that we have the continued support of the Governor of New South Wales to highlight this event. Her encouragement is very well appreciated and it was a pleasure to hear her and young Cormac Ryan speak at the Welcome Reception for the Summer Down Under Series this week. Cormacs speech proved he will be a leader off the track as much as he is on it. Wheelchair Sports NSW

23.01.2022 Top End caught up with Sarah Clifton-Bligh at the Wheelchair Sports NSW #hersportsnight in Sydney last night. Sarah has been a very loyal Top End customer over the years and we were excited to hear that she was off to Perth for the Australian all school championships next month. So when Wayne from Top End heard she did not have a bag for her wheels to travel he made it happen and less than 24 hours later Sarah visited Invacare to receive her gift. Good luck in Perth Sarah and thank you for the way you support Top End!!!

22.01.2022 Learn a little bit about Invacare Sponsored Athlete Rheed McCracken. Rheed has been a fantastic supporter of Top End over the past 7 years so when we saw this video it was obvious we had to do something. There will be a box of KitKat Gold waiting for you when you get home!

22.01.2022 Handcycling is a great way to have fun, get fit and stay active so you can enjoy life to the fullest. The Top End Excelerator is an upright and extremely manoeuvrable three-wheel handcycle with a frame designed to make transfers easy. More here: https://bit.ly/3e3NjQl

19.01.2022 Robyn Lambird - My Trex Life with her "nose to the grindstone" on her Top End racing chair.

However, she hasn't let that stop her training.

18.01.2022 ParaFed Taranaki took their Top End chairs to WITT - Western Institute of Technology at Taranaki where they had a great time giving some of the PE students lessons in wheelchair basketball. What a fun way to get your heart rate up and spread the word about inclusive sports!

18.01.2022 The Top End Crossfire All Terrain is designed to tackle tough terrain and get you places where regular wheelchairs might not cope. Pictured here is Kirsty, who has finally been able to access her local beach. Having tried many times with different chairs with no success, she finally contacted us at Top End and we were able to script her an All Terrain which has worked perfectly. "I am absolutely wrapped with the chair, as it has enabled me to still go down to the beach which is 5 minutes away from home. We moved to a coastal location because of the access we had to the beach and our love of walking our dogs there, so if it had not still been possible to visit on a daily basis, I would have been devastated." Youll find more information about the Top End Crossfire All Terrain here: https://ecs.page.link/eqt82

18.01.2022 Ian Walker loves cruising along on his Top End Force RX handcycle, which he says is "simply the best." This video was taken by one of his support workers following on a bicycle.

Ian has endured two separate spinal injuries yet is always able to see the bright side of life and remains amazingly positive.

17.01.2022 Have you watched this fantastic interview by Kurt Fearnley of Top End sponsored athlete Eliza Ault-Connell?

10.01.2022 At 14, Waryk Holmes is not only one of the brightest characters in wheelchair racing, he also has a bright future who already has Paris 2024 in his sights. A great story about what Australia Day means to him! He will be taking on the gruelling course of the 10k Oz Day Race around The Rocks in Sydney in Australia Day. Its the only wheelchair only road race in the Southern Hemisphere and worth coming day to see a huge international field. Wheelchair Sports NSW Invacare Australia/New Zealand

10.01.2022 Top End sponsored athlete Samuel Rizzo recently helped mentor some young wheelchair racers and gave them a try on his chair.

Great to have senior elite squad member Samuel Rizzo mentoring the Geelong juniors tonight in training. Even giving Indi a go on his wheelchair."

Adjustments that can take up to four hours in other chairs, take only 15 minutes in the Pro Basketball Wheelchair. Plus, it is so easy to order that you only need to measure seat width and depth, select a wheel size using our wheel guide and pick a colour. More here: https://bit.ly/2WRmCH3

06.01.2022 If you dont know the name yet, you soon will. Brydi Saul at 9 years old completed the 10km OzDay Race around the Rocks. Its a tough course and people have to retire early for a variety of reasons. Brydi fought so hard on those three laps to finish and the crowd was cheering when she crossed the finish line. Invacare have sponsored this event for 9 years and this was one of our favourite moments ever. We had to give her a bag of goodies normally reserved for our sponsored elite athletes but we made an exception for her.
