So last week we had the privilege of listening to Therese and Jack Howell and here are some details and pics, thanks to Ken Rook.
 
 
Last Week’s Meeting:
 
We were fortunate to have two guest speakers last week. Therese Howell and her son Jack. 
 
Jack was born without a left hand and is classified as an amputee.
 
They were present to tell us about AMP CAMPS, a special camp for 12 – 21 year-old amputees.  These young people may have been born with a limb or limbs missing, like Jack, or may have lost a limb or limbs through accident or illness.
 
The 4 day camp is held each year in NSW for participants from throughout Australia.  Much of the information can be seen in the photos.
 
They gave an excellent and inspiring presentation which left us all highly impressed with the excellent work the camp is doing.
 
15 year old Jack is a promising triathlete having just finished 2nd Nationally in his age group against able bodied competitors.  He has qualified for training for the Paris Paralympics in 2024.
 
We will watch his progress with interest.
