One unforgettable day. ❤️🏁

Abilities NZ at the Mt Smart Go Kart Track Day
On Wednesday, 28th May, we had the privilege of hosting an incredible group of 33 disabled workers from the Abilities Group – whose recycling plant in Wairau Valley was tragically destroyed by fire on April 24th. Over 100 disabled workers were employed there, and while not everyone could join us, we were honoured to give a day out to those who could.

Lee’s story is now available on Attitude TV

Part I

Shown through the eyes of Lee Warn, this two-part series follows Lee on his journey to get licensed and compete in the HRC B&H 500.

Lee has never let the fact he is in a wheelchair slow him down. He is a wheelchair marathon athlete, a marriage celebrant, axe thrower, and a spinal support worker. Now Lee has set himself a new challenge, to become a race car driver.

Part II

Last time, wheelchair user Lee Warn joined ‘Team Motive’, Aotearoa’s first disability racing car team. Now, Lee enters the cauldron of motor racing as one of the team’s three drivers competing in a 500 km endurance event.
