Fenton

Still continuing his healthy lifestyle, Fenton attends at least four or five different gym classes each week, including Body Jam and Body Pump, aqua classes and weight training, he enjoys bike rides and he’s recently undertaken spin classes.

Fenton has also participated in organised fun runs in the past and still walks regularly. He made excellent use of his time at home during COVID-19 by completing his very first 10 kilometer walk.

With the support of a dietician, Fenton also maintains a healthy eating plan and lost four kilograms during the COVID-19 period.

Earlier this year, Carol, along with Disability Support Workers Lisa Tynan and Kim Meagher, received a Rocky Bay Star Award, which recognises staff for exemplary service, for working together to support Fenton in his goal of living a healthy lifestyle and helping him discover his interests, motivations and goal setting.

The team consistently work with Fenton to organise his fitness regime and encourage him to keep going. They are also supporting Fenton to gain meaningful employment three days a week, with funding support from the National Disability Insurance Scheme.

When asked what his next adventure might be, Fenton was quick to respond:

“Skydiving out of a plane next – the real deal.”
