Often his globe-trotting adventures revolved around exploration on two-wheels, an avid cyclist he has peddled through destinations as diverse as northern France, Japan, New Zealand’s South Island and Tanzania. For almost a full decade Heng was loosely home-based in Asia, but worked only enough to fund his travel addiction. What self-professed independent traveller would not dream of working for Lonely Planet? Melbourne, Australia beckoned and two years later (1999) Martin was working for Lonely Planet. He worked his way up through several positions into the demanding role of Trade Publishing and Editorial Manager responsible for coordination and publishing of all the guidebooks, a gargantuan task that is accomplished with an in-house team of some 60 staff and an army of freelance authors scattered around the globe. In November 2010, a motorist broadsided Martin while he was biking. He gained consciousness and began to comprehend the realities of being a quadriplegic. Martin has worked tirelessly with a team of medical professionals since the accident and he is now able to walk short distances with a walking aid, an incredible feat. The accident has not diminished Heng’s passion for travel; it has opened a new door at Lonely Planet with its Travel for All project and Martin’s new broad-reaching role as Accessible Travel Manager and Editorial Adviser. 01:00:00Warrior Momznotraveller,committed,SCI,Accessable travelMartin Heng was born in the UK, with the travelling gene, he says that he has visited more than 40 countries.

Prior to the acident, he loved swimming in the ocean, playing basketball and snowboarding.  He used to revel in the freedom of riding his bike with his friends, the wind flying in his hair.On February 1, 2010, Spencer's life changed forever. He crashed his snowboard and shattered his C4/C5 vertebrae, sustaining a severe spinal cord injury. Unable to breathe, move or feel anything below chest level, Spencer remained hospitalized for over three months. But Spencer never accepted the doctors prognosis and he never gave up. Now, four years and six rehabilitation sessions a week later, Spencer is making amazing progress. He has sensation and movement in almost every part of his body. He can push his own wheelchair (with power assist wheels), write with his left hand, stand, and take unassisted steps. He now drives independently in a specially adapted car. He is also a high school senior with top grades. Spencer has demonstrated courage and an exemplary work ethic in his recovery. He also has a great sense of humor.  01:00:00Warrior Momzno13 YEARS,SPENCER DETERMINED,SPINAL CORD INJURY,STANDING,BEATING THE ODDSSpencer was thirteen when he was paralyzed in a snowboarding accident.

All up I spent 6 months in hospital trying to regain any function possible.  Doctors told me I’d be using a Power Chair for the rest of my life and never be able to look after myself in any way.  While in hospital I heard about an intensive training program called “Walk On” which was based off another highly regarded intensive training program in America called “Project Walk”.  Since doing Walk On I am now using a manual chair and have gained enough strength to transfer in and out of my chair and a car with minimal assistance.  I have also made the trip to America to attend Project Walk where I gained more strength and motivation, and I’m planning on going back to America in the near future.   After more than 3 and a half years I’m still getting stronger and making progress towards regaining more independence and possibly to at least being able to stand one day. https://m.facebook.com/thereecewallenappeal 01:00:00Warrior Momznospinal cord injury ',recovery is possible,goal settingREECE WALLAN In December 2010 life as I knew it changed forever.  One day I was a very active 24 year old, riding motor bikes, playing football, fishing and caSpinal Cord Injury - thinking out of the squarehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/warriormomz/2014/05/09/spinal-cord-injury--thinking-out-of-the-square-1Motivationhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/warriormomz/2014/05/09/spinal-cord-injury--thinking-out-of-the-square-1/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/warriormomz/2014/05/09/spinal-cord-injury--thinking-out-of-the-square-1Fri, 09 May 2014 05:00:00 GMTSpinal Cord Injury - thinking out of the squareHear the amazing Simon Floreani, our Chiropractor who was introduced as Josh's snowboard coach, he was working with Josh 5 days after his accident, and still to this day adjusts Josh on a regular basis... 00:59:00Warrior Momznospinal cord injury,alternative view on recovery,warrior momz,team workHear the amazing Simon Floreani, our Chiropractor who was introduced as Josh's snowboard coach, he was working with Josh 5 days after his accident, and still toMaking Strides giving home to Aussies with Spinal Cord Injuryhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/warriormomz/2014/03/04/making-strides-giving-home-to-aussies-with-spinal-cord-injuryMotivationhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/warriormomz/2014/03/04/making-strides-giving-home-to-aussies-with-spinal-cord-injury/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/warriormomz/2014/03/04/making-strides-giving-home-to-aussies-with-spinal-cord-injuryTue, 04 Mar 2014 22:00:00 GMTMaking Strides giving home to Aussies with Spinal Cord InjuryIt is with pleasure that I will interview, Steve, Kristee, Genny & Jim co founders of Making Strides Queensland.

With no guidance or a reference book to go by, we chose to follow our guts by believing in Kenny's prior physical abilities and strong will, we know he will conquer this injury and prove all of his American Medical team wrong.   With  2 trips to Cologne, Germany for stem cell therapy/treatment, hundreds of hours of physical/occupational therapy, Acupuncture and Chiropractic care.  All while being free of prescription medications, Kenny has set forth a path for others to follow. My name is Kenny Potts, I love the feeling of being free and a great adrenaline rush. I worked as a apprentice roofer. I loved being up high and working outdoors in the sun. On July  28, 2008, I set out to relieve some stress, but instead of returning home, I found myself bring rushed to the hospital after a simple motocross crash. After that moment, my mom and I knew that we would be helping others, by our spiritual and holistic methods of therapies that have helped me continue my recovery.   I have continued these therapies that my doctors in Germany have set in motion, along with staying positive and focused on a full recovery. I've been told that I would never eat or breath on my own. My muscles would never return.... I would be in an electric wheelchair.

May 14th 2007, mile marker 117 on I69 @ 5:06 pm my life as I knew it was changed, forever. Everything I once knew how to do ­­is now different. The way I feel about everything is different. The way I think is now different. My life now isn't the life I imagined or ever hoped for. It's been 6 years and I still struggle with accepting the fact I will never live the life I had for 22 years and I still struggle understanding how everything was taken from me in a split second, when I hit the highway. Through those daily struggles I still deal with they have strengthened and moulded me into the person I'm proud to be today. Thanks to the love and support of those who've carried me through the dark moments, to help me see the light that my new life still has, I can look at myself and be proud of how far I've came. 00:40:00Warrior MomznoInspirational,great attitude,warrior mom,never giving up,Mom to 2 boysErica Predum, lives in Fort Wayne Indiana -was one of the first to "want to be involved with Warrior Momz" - Erica is the first to help someone with a spinal cIn The beginning Part 2http://www.blogtalkradio.com/warriormomz/2013/06/04/in-the-beginning-part-2-1Motivationhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/warriormomz/2013/06/04/in-the-beginning-part-2-1/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/warriormomz/2013/06/04/in-the-beginning-part-2-1Tue, 04 Jun 2013 23:00:00 GMTIn The beginning Part 2Today we are iChatting with Warrior Mom Michelle Cole, we will chat about her story of working with her Son Kolter in his recovery00:45:00Warrior MomznoWalk again,recovery,spinal cord injury,positive,never give upToday we are iChatting with Warrior Mom Michelle Cole, we will chat about her story of working with her Son Kolter in his recoveryWarrior Momz IIn the Beginninghttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/warriormomz/2013/05/31/warrior-momz-iin-the-beginningMotivationhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/warriormomz/2013/05/31/warrior-momz-iin-the-beginning/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/warriormomz/2013/05/31/warrior-momz-iin-the-beginningFri, 31 May 2013 20:00:00 GMTWarrior Momz IIn the Beginning Warrior Momz was established to assist families and loved ones dealing with spinal cord injury.
