NEW ZEALAND SPINAL TRUST 14<br />
“To have someone beside you guiding you, or just<br />
advising you that ‘we can sort it out together and find<br />
solutions together’, is incredible.<br />
“It’s just that general guidance, and for us and others to<br />
have that locally is going to be incredible, because it’s all<br />
about building relationships.<br />
“For ACC to actually recognise that peer support is<br />
important, and get behind it, is amazing.”<br />
Jayden said Peer Support was available at Burwood. He<br />
was also lucky to have Liam Keenan, who was also<br />
paralysed fol<strong>low</strong>ing a mountain biking accident, visit him<br />
in the Spinal Unit.<br />
“It was very cool to see someone further down the track<br />
than me – especially when you don’t know what that track<br />
looks like.<br />
“He just came and had a chat and talked about what the<br />
process looks like. We spoke about everything from my<br />
health to what wheelchair to buy.”<br />
NEED FOR SPEED. Jayden Glentworth is not looking back.<br />
