Ellie Cole's Couch: Lived Experience Preview

Ellie: Hi, I'm APM ambassador Ellie Cole

and like many other people,

I understand the unique experience

of living with a disability.

I've shared this experience
through my time being an athlete

and competing for Australia
at the Paralympic Games.

And I've met plenty of other people

who have shared their experience

on living with a disability
or health condition too.

And one thing really comes through to me

is that every experience of
disability or health condition

is very different, which
is why I'm so excited

to be meeting some of the APM team members

who they themselves have a
disability or health condition.

And we'll talk about how that
experience of their disability

has helped them to enable better lives

for people within their own communities.

Bree: The footy was on the
TV, and it was on mute,

and I lipread what the footy player said,

and my mom was like,
"Hang on a damn minute."

Christine: For the first 12 months after
my daughter passed away,

I hated everything in life.

Graham: About eight years ago I was told,

"You won't be walking in six months time."

Hold my beer.

I'm going to prove you wrong.
