Since birth,
Brad Taylor faced an enormous challenge. He threw down the gauntlet to slay
the incurable lung disease, Cystic Fibrosis.
(cf)
His seventh birthday wish
was, "to be around one day when there would be a cure or treatment to
free me from cf." All he really wanted,
was to do the things other boys his age took for granted. So began his
dream and with it, the determination to make it a reality - no matter
the size of the obstacles that lay ahead.
Using self-belief from a young age, he successfully overcame those obstacles.
Brad
now helps others by telling his inspirational story.
Hearing his story will increase your team's belief in it's ability to
achieve higher goals and overcome personal challenges - delivering greater
results for your organisation. Brad is living proof that the human spirit

Brad's openness, honesty and sense of humour develops a rapport and a

most unmotivated member of your team cannot help but be captivated by
his story of triumph.

Rotary Club writes:
I have known Brad Taylor for 8 years now and have always found him to
be an honest, industrious and totally reliable individual.
I first encountered Brad when he addressed a Rotary meeting at Grange
Rotary Club, where he enthralled a large audience with his vast
knowledge of his particular expertise on the serious subject of Cystic
Fibrosis. Brad is a sufferer of this debilitating condition, and he is
able to articulate on all aspects of this subject, with a great deal of
accuracy and personal experience during his address.
Since 1998, I have assisted Brad with his fitness regime, and have
always been amazed at his achievements in a variety of sports, and his
ability to shine through adversity with his cheerful never give in
attitude.
On numerous occasions, I have heard Brad captive an audience with his
wonderful descriptive story of his struggles coming to terms with Cystic
Fibrosis, and getting on with life, and his ability to seize every
possible waking moment. He is able to deliver his talk in a most
entertaining style, which is both entertaining and enlightening.
Brad is a great orator and is able to deliver his message in a most
professional manner with a good deal of humour thrown in. His cheerful
outgoing disposition is very refreshing to all who encounter him, and
leave you feeling all the better for meeting up with an individual with
such a positive outlook on all aspects of life.
Yours Faithfully
