This incredible film captures the team's journey as they push both physical and mental boundaries, showcasing the power of resilience, teamwork, and community support.
The team includes a diverse group of individuals, some of whom live with disabilities, such as Paul Pritchard, an author and adventurer who sustained a traumatic brain injury in 1998, and Paul Allen, a furniture designer and comedian living with a brain injury. Both are proud National Assistance Card holders, using their experiences to challenge perceptions and inspire others.

- Walter Van Praag – Writer and adventurer, living with cystic fibrosis.
- Vonna Keller – Registered nurse and lung cancer survivor.
