The John McLean Story
John chose never to be defined by his wheelchair. He adapted to life in a wheelchair by pushing extraordinary boundaries in sporting achievement as a wheelchair athlete. He consciously challenged and changed his belief system. Brad Fittler walked a 10km with John and also got him to speak in front of the 2018 State of Origin team in what was one of the most inspiring speeches he's heard. Fittler considers him a hero.
