I chat with Dan Boardman, who has been a support worker for a ventilated quadriplegic since he was 21 years old. We chat about the rewards and challenges associated with working so closely with someone in their own home, some of the close calls they have had with the ventilator disconnecting, the emotional support they provide for each other and the importance of having interests outside of the workplace.

Nathan Stapleton – From NRL Player To Ventilated Quadriplegic
In this episode, I speak with former NRL player, now ventilated quadriplegic, Nathan Stapleton. We chat about his life as a professional athlete, how he sustained an injury that resulted in him now relying on a ventilator to breathe, how he has adapted to fatherhood as a quadriplegic and how he has been able to return to work on his farm but in a different capacity.
