• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A Voice for All-Abilities tells the uplifting story of Joshua James Rudd - a young man whose infectious enthusiasm, fierce determination, and unwavering spirit have made him a shining light at Swan Districts Football Club and beyond. Born with autism and facing early challenges in school and social settings, Josh refused to let labels or obstacles define him. Instead, he embraced his unique way of seeing the world, turning difficulties into opportunities.

At the heart of the Swan Districts community, Josh is a familiar and beloved presence on Thursday club nights, where his booming voice commands the chocolate wheel raffle and his smile lights up the room. More than a sports enthusiast, Josh dreams of becoming a TV or radio presenter, using his voice to champion people of all abilities. His love of transport, football, and technology fuels his ambitions, while his role on the club's All-Abilities team highlights the power of inclusion and community spirit.

Josh's story is one of resilience-from conquering the challenge of earning his driver's licence despite reading difficulties, to embracing his Scottish heritage, to volunteering tirelessly in his community. His journey reveals the transformative power of acceptance, perseverance, and the drive to make a difference.

This story is an inspiring testament to the belief that true ability is about heart and determination. Josh Rudd's journey offers hope and motivation to anyone who's ever felt different or underestimated, proving that with passion and support, everyone can find their voice-and their place.

Autorenporträt

About the Author

It might be said that the expression "Jack of all trades and master of none" is an apt description of Peter J Snow OAM.

He abandoned pursuit of an engineering degree and accounting qualifications but his efforts will leave an extraordinary legacy.

He attributes this to the training, skills and self-confidence he gained through membership of JCI (formerly known as Jaycees International) after joining Fremantle Jaycees in 1970.

Obstacles encountered dented (but certainly not overwhelmed) his positive approach and desire to help and mentor others. His vision, entrepreneurial skills and contribution to his community over 70+ years (some of which are referred to in this book) have resulted in a myriad of awards.

International awards for programs developed or overseen by him include: national public relations; awards; fundraising; group collaboration; commercial education; and assistance to the handicapped.

Personal awards include: Voluntary Contribution to Western Australian Heritage; Honorary Tarheel of North Carolina; a Paul Harris fellowship from Rotary; and Community Torchbearer for the Sydney 2000 Olympics.

In addition to being recognised as Outstanding Senator of JCI, Outstanding National Officer and one of the World's Inspiring Jaycees, he was Australian Jaycees (JCIA) first Ambassador in Western Australia and one of the state's Five Outstanding Young Australians.

Along with a JCI Senatorship, he holds life memberships of 8 community or sporting organisations and was awarded an Order of Australia Medal for his contribution to the Australian community. In 2025 he was awarded Life Membership of JCIA.
