Guest Speaker – Graham Edwards AM
We are delighted to announce Graham Edwards AM as our first guest speaker. A Vietnam veteran, former State and Federal MP, and passionate advocate for veterans and people with disability, Graham has dedicated his life to public service, overcoming adversity and championing others. After losing both legs in Vietnam in 1970, he went on to build an extraordinary career in politics and community advocacy, inspiring others through his resilience and determination.
Graham will share insights from his recently released memoir, Stone The Bloody Crows, which chronicles his remarkable journey through war, recovery, politics and a lifetime of service. Proceeds from book sales go towards Wheelchairs For Kids Australia, helping provide life-changing mobility to children with disability around the world.
Stone The Bloody Crows can be purchased via https://wheelchairsforkids.supporterhub.net.au/web/book-orders
Join us for an inspiring morning of connection, community and conversation as we recognise and celebrate the contributions and experiences of people with disability.
