Tristram Peters
According to Tristram, being diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Type 2 can make it difficult to go to the shops independently, or have the energy to go out at night with friends like “normal” people – but there’s always a positive side to everything. “I’ve met so many fantastic people thanks to my disability; people I would never have met if I didn’t have SMA Type 2. That’s something I value immensely.” Sport is a big part of life for Tristram, who plays electric wheelchair hockey, soccer and rugby league – as well as being a keen spectator. “I never thought I’d be given the chance to play sport, so it’s something that’s very important to me,” he says. He also writes and socialises with friends in his spare time. Currently in his third year of a Bachelor of Journalism / Arts at The University of Queensland, Tristram has been a client of MontroseAccess since he was three years old.
