Mark Cunningham [club]; Ian Bridge [national]

He began playing Para badminton in 2015. (Instagram profile, 30 Jul 2021; asf.org.au, 01 Jan 2019)

He was involved in cricket, tenpin bowling, and wheelchair basketball when he was younger. He became interested in Para badminton after the sport was included on the programme for the 2020 Paralympic Games in Tokyo. "Ian [Bridge] was running the group I was playing in at the time, it was before he became national coach, but he saw I had some potential and told me about the journey I could go on. Ian said there was a chance of playing at the Paralympics and I thought, 'That'd be nice'. But it was always just a pipe dream, really." (badmintonoceania.org, 28 Jul 2021; asf.org.au, 01 Jan 2019)

"I want to show people who may be in their thirties or forties that it's not too late. If you work really hard, anything's possible. I hope I can inspire people to see that if they work hard they can achieve special things." (badmintonoceania.org, 28 Jul 2021)

In 2015/16 he received a Life Membership Award from the North Suburban Community Cricket Association [NSCCA] for his contribution to the sport in Australia. (asf.org.au, 01 Jan 2019)
