Help us Celebrate the International Day of People with a Disability (IDPWD) by joining Westcare, Dreamfit Foundation and Ride Aid for breakfast on Monday 6th December 2010, at Burswood Convention Centre in the Grand Ballroom. This collaborative event leverages the power of each organisation and is committed to raising the awareness of the abilities of people with a disability.
Speakers
Peter Fitzgerald is widely respected and recognised for the outstanding contributions made during his professional life at the helm of two peak bodies as the Chief Executive Officer for the legal profession and the motor industry. Prior to this Peter had a distinguished 20 year military career, including service with the elite Special Air Service Regiment (SASR) as an Australian Army Officer.
Katrina Porter was born with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita but has never let the condition get in the way of living life to the full. In 2006 she claimed bronze in the 100m breaststroke at the IPC World Championships, then in Beijing in 2008 she broke the 100m backstroke world record and declared her place in History with a Gold medal.
The Event – Dreamcatcher Challenge
Disability organisations nominated “Dreams” of potential candidates to participate in a competition to receive a custom engineered solution to help fulfill their Dream. Three projects were selected for UWA’s 2nd year engineering students to work with ECU’s Occupational Therapy and Public Relations and Communications teams to design and develop concepts to enhance the lives of the lucky recipients.
Dreamcatcher Gym Project • Dreamcatcher Sit Ski Project • Dreamcatcher Art Easel Project
Each project has three student groups who will each build their concepts with the assistance and mentoring of industry partners. These items will be presented to the three Dream recipients at the end of the breakfast, where each recipient will select their favourite design from the three options.
