💙 Game on.

After more than ten brain surgeries and a lifetime of adapting to new challenges, 17-year-old Nathan continues to find confidence, connection and belonging through sport.

Through DSRHB and the Halberg Games, Nathan has discovered that having a disability doesn't mean sitting on the sidelines.

His story is a powerful reminder that inclusion doesn't have to look the same for everyone - but everyone deserves the opportunity to be part of the game.

With the weather warming up and the sun shining brightly, it's the perfect time of year to put your fitness to the test!

This year our friends at Multiple Sclerosis Hawke's Bay have introduced a new category to their fabulous walk/run adventure in Napier. In addition to their existing categories, there will now be a category for those athletes who require assistance in the form of caregivers or support workers completing the event with them.

Don't delay - sign up today and get amongst the fun!

What a way to round off the term! Our athletes showcased ALL of their different skills in today's session with Coach Nick.

We are so very, very proud of all of these athletes who moved well beyond their comfort zones to try all sorts of new movements over the past 10 weeks.

Looking forward to seeing where the next step of the lifting adventure takes you all!
