The rehab hut is complete! We opened it yesterday with a big party and awareness event. As a therapy team, we proved ourselves as competent event organisers. And what a lot of work it was. But hopefully the message came out load and clear: disabled people CAN DO stuff!

Sarah, Bernard and Jess's home-made Christmas tree. Quite stylish i think!
I had a great Christmas dinner with Sarah, Bernard, Jess, Ross and uncle Tony. Main course was a leg of lamb, which became Jack's Christmas present...
On Boxing Day, Uncle Tony wanted to go to Mncwasa river for a swim. The weather was rather dull so we didn't bring our swimming costumes as we assumed we would go for a walk on the beach instead. But the water was so lovely, we just had to swim in our clothes. Uncle Tony remembered his cozzie. L-R: Ross, Jess, Sarah, Tony.
Boxing day ended with a huge game of Warewolf during which we were shocked to see how well some people could lie!
The start of the 800m race. Most racers are pushed.
