The police took me to this orphanage. The one thing that I do remember is the love that we had at the orphanage. The government funding stopped and the toddlers were adopted out, I came to New Zealand with 5 in the plane.

We knew we were going to become parents we just didn't quite understand how that was going to happen and what God's plan was for us. So we thought maybe, adoption.

I'm 16, going out to parties, drinking too much, experimenting with drugs. For me it wasn't about having fun in the weekend, it was about not having to worry about my week.

At the age of 3 I encountered my first sexual abuse, I also went through it at the age of 10 and 11. Cause my parents were hardly home, I had to always come home and that person that was doing the things to me was actually living with us.

Dad was a carpenter but figured he'd like to have a go at making me a racing wheelchair. The chair he made did me well for 5 years and included representing New Zealand three times.
