This is what recovery looks like for Sam - paying it forward.
More than two decades ago, Sam had an accident and was facing life-threatening injuries. He had 48 broken bones and was facing a long recovery - both physically and mentally.
To support his mental healing, he decided that every year he would raise money for charity. This year, we`re proud to be the recipient of his incredible work.
Thank you, Sam, for your generosity - your efforts are inspiring.
If Doug can do it, so can you!
Doug’ s cheated death twice, both times saved by the rescue helicopter. That didn’t stop him walking 49km last year to get Back to Base.
