Maree Bourke-Calliss

In 1994, at the age of 32, Maree suffered a massive brain stem stroke as the result of a sporting accident. Maree, a quadriplegic who cannot speak, is, however, a unique and outstanding motivational "speaker" who leaves her audiences feeling inspired, moved, touched and... often... changed. She has recently designed and managed the construction of her own home which includes a creative landscaping component and a hydrotherapy pool in the lounge! She manages a small team of carers, is a patron of the Whyalla Special Olympics organisation and has a keen interest in the stock market, the Collingwood football club and dog obedience classes.

Would you fight on? Let Maree, assisted by Hilary Henshaw, paint a picture of one person's journey of survival and determination to live a powerful and inspiring life. This unique presentation will leave you feeling blessed, inspired and privileged to be alive.
