FOR many thrill-seekers, zipping around the water on a jet ski is easy going, but for Endeavour Foundation member Jason Wellington it has been a long-term dream.
Endeavour Foundation resource and development officer Kellie Glare said many of the people the organisation supports planned goals they wanted to achieve and then aimed to complete their goal with the support of staff at Endeavour.
Jason, who attends the Endeavour Foundation Wallace Park Learning and Lifestyle facility, planned to go jet skiing.
“Jason has epilepsy- Lennox Gastaut syndrome which means throughout the day he can frequently suffer uncontrolled seizures,” Kellie said.
“But, with a well-organised support network, in a joint venture of both family, friends and staff at Wallace Park and Nambour Learning and Lifestyle and local business, Jason’s dream finally became a reality.”
Dylan of Maroochy River Jet Ski Hire supported Jason throughout the jet ski ride and Kellie said he went out of his way to make sure Jason had an experience of indescribable proportions.
Jason said he enjoyed jet skiing and while he hadn’t yet set his next goal he planned to have a good think about it before he did.
“It was a good day for it,” he said. “I enjoyed the whole motion of the jet ski.”
Kellie said she wanted to thank the people who had made Jason’s big day a reality.
“Thank you to all the team at Maroochy Jet Ski Hire for making Jason’s long- time goal an adventure that wants him coming back for more!” she said.
