Fight4Balance is very happy to invite our community of families, schools and corporate supporters to join our charity’s annual Disability Inclusion Poolside (DIP) Carnival to promote disability awareness and inclusion for boys and girls living with functional & intellectual disabilities, including autism (our AllStars). 

This is a private event with the pool complex closed to the public.  Guests are asked to give a $5 donation upon entry to the complex, which includes a sausage sizzle.

As a mother of five commencing her second year as a doctor all while running a new charity, you can understand why.

“Just one moment each day of hope and happiness is enough to keep you motivated. I’ve learned it’s okay to be tired in order to get what you want out of this life,” she said.

While working as a Radiation Therapist, Amy was accepted into medical school with five kids under the age of seven at home. The concept was inspired by their eldest son, Jacob, who was born with mild to moderate disability and struggles to find his place in the community.

“Jacob looks like a regular 13-year-old boy and has a high emotional intelligence yet suffers intellectual impairment, mild cerebral palsy and epilepsy among other things that make it really hard for him to connect and find success in his life,” she said.
