Shane Thrower
In May 2003, Shane Thrower was knocked off his cycle by a car travelling at over 100kph – he was training for the New Zealand Ironman. He suffered severe injuries, including a traumatic brain injury, paralysis and broken bones. Medical staff told Shane he would never complete his study, play competitive sport or work again. Shane will share his incredible journey through major life-changing events that have shaped his attitude and provided inspiration for his commitment to raising awareness of the Burwood Brain Injury Rehabilitation Service, the Brain Injury Association, the Burwood Brain Injury Unit and the Brain Injury Resources Team. His energy will take your breath away.
