Thats the attitude Amy! "Just give it a go"
Our members of Achilles Hawkesbay are here to help anyone's journey, whether it be a 5km run/walk around parkrun or signing up for a 10km event with fellow Achilles members.

Both our Chapter leads have been involved with Disability Sport and Recreation Hawkes Bay from helping out at a swimming event and help with the fundraiser at the Light Show at Splash Planet.

We are here to support. Give us a message to find out when we will meet up next, even if its just for a chat to find out about what we have coming up.

Just give it a go! 👏

💙 “Just come and have fun.”

That’s 17-year-old Amy’s advice to other young people who might be nervous about giving sport a go.

Through Disability Sport and Recreation Hawke’s Bay, Amy has found more than opportunities to swim and play boccia. She’s found friendship, confidence, community and a place where she can truly be herself. 🏊‍♀️🏅

Amy's already achieving big things and has plenty more goals ahead, but for her, the best part of sport is simple:

❤️ “I like to see all my friends, that’s the best part.”
