Thanks Mosquito for the Great Ride: Memoirs of a Life With Parabilities

Thanks Mosquito for the Great Ride encapsulates the importance of family and the positive vibes on which families thrive.

Thanks Mosquito for the Great Ride not only celebrates inspirational stories from Jan’s life but encourages society to take up the positive words of ‘para-abled’ and ‘parability’, terms that align with Paralympics and paramedic.

Join Jan as she guides you on a journey through childhood, schooling, dreams coming true, hospitalisations, working, driving, travelling overseas, meeting Paul McCartney twice, pastimes, marrying, family life, and more of her life’s experiences.
