Thank you!!!

It is helpful, I find, to actually understand what the term means.

"One spine, one chance" does seem to convey so much. My wish is that the Royal North Shore Hospital's statement may become one that is known universally.

Prior to my spinal condition and disability, I really hadn't done anything that others could - even remotely - construe as "risk-taking." Limitations were present prior to a dx... that progressed and... I found myself disabled (through no activity I engaged in, but the misfortune of having a "sucky spine" as my PCP says from birth). But... I admit, if I had been able to do much more, I may have been someone whom really would have taken the info. about "skylarking" to heart. I would've read it, and, still appreciated the info.

I think it's fantastic that Australia is doing what it can to prevent SCI .
