He's cool! He's funny and he's clever. He also has cerebral palsy.
(That sounds like me!)
This is from his facebook page: Though many people have speculated as to the origins of Zach's disability he maintains that it is due to his overabundance of attractiveness, which can be seen shimmering out of his lazy eye.
(That sounds like me!)
He's written a book, which he titled: If At Birth You Don't Succeed...
(Ok, we're working on the book bit...)
Straight up, we love him!
We love that Zach is funny and witty and doesn't let his cerebral palsy stop him.
Zach shares a lot of videos on his you tube channel.
One of his videos inspired us to ask people to come up with a challenge, for us.
In that video, he sets out to buy a rainbow bagel. He has to use public transport and get to the one place that sells them.
All. The. Way. Across. Town.
(Just getting into the lift takes a big chunk of his morning!)
Oh, and Zach is in a powered wheelchair.
We want to be challenged to go somewhere, or do something, in our local area.
But first, here's the video that inspired us:
So, we want a similar challenge.
If you think you have a good idea for a challenge, let us know!
We're happy to ditch the car and rely on public transport.
We're happy to go anywhere within the Illawarra.
We'll be using the wheelchair and can ask directions through Dexter's communication switch.
If you can give us some challenges, we'll pick at least one challenge. We'll do our best to achieve it and we'll video our adventures, for you all.
Can you think of a challenge for us?
If so, you can email it to us, comment here or write it on Dexter's facebook page.
We can't wait to see what people come up with!
We're a bit excited and a bit nervous, but we're always up for an adventure!
(After you come up with a challenge, head over and check out more of Zach's vidoes.)
