In 1986, co-founder Neil McLeod, wrote the story of The Spastic Centre's first 40 years. Never before published, 'Nothing is Impossible' celebrates the rich history of the organisation – the first of its kind in the world.
'Nothing Is Impossible' tells the story of two unique people, Neil and his wife Audrie, who struggled against the prevailing beliefs of the time to build a future for their daughter Jennifer and the countless other families who shared their journey. It is also the story of a community responding to the needs of these children and their families with unreserved support and encouragement.
The book follows the development of The Centre from a loaned house in Mosman, New South Wales, to a school, therapy services, hostel and Centre Industries at Allambie Heights, and beyond.
To preserve the provenance of this exceptional history, the original manuscript has been reproduced intact. The book will be of enormous interest to the many people who have played a part in this remarkable organisation.
