Paralympic gold medallist Matthew Levy will be visiting Bacchus Marsh to share his story of determination, resilience, and community spirit for free at the Bacchus Marsh Public Hall on Saturday, September 2.
Mr Levy, who has recently published a new book, ‘Going The Distance’, said he’s focused on
inspiring the next generation.
“Bacchus Marsh with its community spirit, welcoming sport-lovers, and picturesque landscapes felt like the perfect venue,” he said.
“Engaging with and inspiring our future athletes, those who will witness a gold
medal up close, maybe even taking home photos with it, is an endeavour close to my heart.”
Mr Levy’s track record boasts accolades from five consecutive Paralympic games, five gold medals, four World Records, and the Order of Australia Medal (OAM) for services to sport.
Along with personal challenges including cerebral palsy, legal blindness, and over 40 medical
operations, Mr Levy’s message resonates deeply.
Mr Levy said no matter how hard the road seems, there is always light at the end of the
tunnel.
“My main goal with these community events is to share what I’ve learnt, to improve lives, emphasising resilience and leadership, and fostering a sense of community that helps us face and navigate life’s challenges,” he said.
The event will begin with music from CYNTA at 11.30am, before Matthew Levy’s talk. The event will also include a meet and greet, autograph and photo opportunities, and light refreshments.
Come and meet Matthew Levy as he shares his inspiring stories and insights.
Tickets can be secured online.
