I’ve shared a deeply personal blog reflecting on I’ve shared a deeply personal blog reflecting on the recent public SMA diagnosis shared by a UK musician — and what it means for our community, especially here in South Africa.

It’s a piece rooted in compassion, lived experience, and advocacy — holding space for hope and the difficult realities of access, testing, and privilege.

If you or someone you love is affected by SMA or rare disease, or if you care about awareness and equitable healthcare, I invite you to read it.

What an incredible experience at @supersport_park What an incredible experience at @supersport_park for the @sa20_league 🙌

I was genuinely blown away by how well the wheelchair seating is done. I could comfortably sit with my friends and family, feel included, and fully enjoy the game, exactly how it should be.

The wheelchair parking was easy and well organised, the staff were welcoming, and there’s a proper accessible bathroom close to the wheelchair seating, which makes such a difference.

They’ve truly thought about accessibility and comfort from start to finish.
All in all, it’s an A+ from me! 👏

This is how inclusion should look. ♿🏏
