CEO Wheelie Challenge 24

We are raising money to make active lives possible for people with a disability. People Like Luke…

What should have been a fun day at the beach almost ended in tragedy for Queenslander Luke. The 21-year-old jumped headfirst off a jetty and hit a sandbank hidden beneath the waves, breaking his neck. Fortunately, he survived the initial accident, but his future had been changed forever.

When Luke first left hospital, six months after his accident, he needed to be strapped into his wheelchair. But after working with highly skilled specialist therapists, he can now sit in his wheelchair without the need for a chest or foot strap. He has also developed the core muscles needed to be able to stand and is even able to dress himself – things he was told he would never do again. 

Recovery from a traumatic injury like Luke’s is a mental, as well as physical, battle. Joining the Sporting Wheelies community provided Luke with a much-needed social connection. He started to play in the Wheelchair Rugby team and met a group of people who understood what he was going through and demonstrated what was possible.

 “After my accident I thought I was going to go home and be a nobody. That was until I met the Wheelchair Rugby guys. I saw what they were doing with their lives. This gave me a new outlook on what was possible for my life.”



Team Cérge

Cérge is a proud partner of Sporting Wheelies and committed to making the Paralympics 2032 the most inclusive and accessible games.  We will be changing many lives on the way.


Cérge solves two of the biggest barriers to community participation, sport & leisure and accessible tourism for the disability community:
1. A lack of public information
2. Customer service bias.

The Cérge Content Management Platform delivers a stepped change in public information about venue accessibility so customers can "Know Before They Go"

The Cérge Companion App allows customers to discreetly inform service staff before arrival of essential “about me” information and be assured of a warm welcome.

I recently tried wheelchair basketball and had the very best time. It was great to be able to participate in a sport again. Go Chris!
