NuDrive champions
We are passionate about empowering people to live life to the full. Nothing gets us going more than hearing about ordinary people enjoying their everyday life. No matter the extent of our disabilities, or where we find ourselves in life, we are all faced with the challenge of learning to enjoy each day as it comes and to make a difference. We are so blessed to know a few people who inspire us in this way. Here are a few of their stories to inspire and encourage you!
Emily Steward - Watford Young Person of the Year 2007
Emily is a young woman with a positive attitude, clear head and a bright future. At the age of 18 and with Spina Bifida, Emily has already faced a few challenges. Emily is an inspiration to many by how she negotiates school life with a disability, along with her bustling social life and plans for the future.
Emily is a close friend of Robert Orford, the founder of NuDrive. Her approach to life greatly inspired Robert to originally develop his idea, "Emily has been a great encouragement to me throughout the journey and she represents so much of what NuDrive is about," says Robert. "She lives life to full and loves being her. She's not going to let her condition stop her from achieving her dreams and being a blessing to others.
Emily was named the Watford Young Person of the Year in 2007 and is currently working hard at a local coffee shop to finance a mission trip to Africa later this year. Next year Emily will begin studying speech and language therapy at university.

Why Emily recommends NuDrive:
With NuDrive it is a lot easier to get up slopes. I can sit up straight, I don't have to strain and I can get more power behind the stroke. It helps me keep going for longer, says Emily.
