New Zealand Spinal Trust reposted this
CEO at Adaptdefy. Inventor of LapStacker, the world's first retractable carry system for wheelchairs.
💢 I recently had the privilege of joining Simon Pound on the Business is Boring podcast by The Spinoff. In this episode, we dive into my journey to becoming a wheelchair user and the insights that followed, including the creation of Adaptdefy Limited and the development of the LapStacker. A huge thank you to everyone who has supported me since that life-changing day 12 years ago—your love and guidance mean the world to me. I’d love to hear what you take away from the episode. Please feel free to share it with anyone who might benefit, whether they’re startup founders or wheelchair users. Hopefully, there are a few nuggets in there that inspire action or provide hope. Also, props to Hans Wouters and the team at New Zealand Spinal Trust whose work is so crucial for supporting positive futures for those with spinal cord impairments and injuries in New Zealand. Please consider donating. #adaptdefy #businessisboring #accessibility #wheelchair #paraplegic #occupationaltherapy #assistivetechnology #LapStacker Spark for Business

You know, watching the Olympics has been awesome - and of course, we are all so proud to be Kiwi! But the adverts for this documentary have really got our crew excited - who else is looking forward to watching "Wheel Blacks: Bodies on the Line" series starting on Sky Open August 18th? ♿ 🏉 #wheelblacks #nzspinal #sci

At NZ Spinal Trust, we greatly appreciate all of our supporters - the individuals who donate each month as part of our Back Bone Crew, the people who donate through our Annual Appeal each year, our volunteers, and our corporate sponsors like Able Axcess Limited who provide us with amazing support. Thank you all so much - we couldn't do our mahi without you all! #nzspinaltrust #supporters #thankyou
At Able Axcess, we've been lucky to connect with the awesome crew at New Zealand Spinal Trust. Thanks to CEO Hans Wouters, we' become a key partner in 2023. It's been a privilege being part of their events and supporting their team in reaching their goals. We really admire the way they not only help with the physical aspects of spinal impairment but also focus on the mental well-being of their community. It's pretty inspiring stuff!
