Ten-year-old football fanatic Cody Towne was in the orthotic department of Sydney’s Westmead Hospital, being treated for muscular dystrophy, when his mum Candice pointed out a poster on the wall advertising a ‘come and try day’ for powerchair football. “He was like, ‘oh, no thank you’. And I was like, ‘oh well, too bad, you don’t get a choice,’” says Candice. “Now he says, ‘I’m so glad you pushed me to do it.’” Three years later Cody, 13, is one of powerchair football’s most promising young players, representing Sydney FC and working towards representing Australia’s national team – the Poweroos – at the 2030 World Cup and perhaps the 2032 Paralympics. “This is my fourth season, and what I love about powerchair soccer is the adrenaline rush that the game gives me. I used to get really nervous and feel really sick. But now I’m just excited.” Each of these players has faced plenty of challenges simply getting onto the court. But now, once there, there's another: the cost of a chair alone is $50,000. To help take the sport to the next level, The Australian Powerchair Football president, Kristy Yeadon, is on a mission.
