John Bransby from Manly Australia posted on 25 Aug 2023 4:10:08 PM Great to see Bill actually improving and not declining. Being a 50 year member of Coogee Surf Club and having trained hard my whole life for surf skis rowing and running I can vouch for the benefits of keeping up a substantial exercise program. I'm back doing road running most days lots of rowing machine skis and tennis. Never felt better or more energised. Keep it going Bill

Greg Dodds from Frenchs Forrest Australia posted on 23 Aug 2023 9:40:57 AM I have known Bill for a number of years after meeting at the gym. What this film does knowing Bill chatting with him is there are things you can do exercise program community involvement generally having a go to not allow Dementia to get the better of you . I didn't realize exercise was such a key component in slowing down dementia Bill you are a true inspiration.
Paul Geraghty from South Melbourne Australia posted on 21 Aug 2023 2:31:34 PM Bill and I played Rugby League together as young boys. He never took a backward stephe was as tough as they come. He was a great inspiration to all of us that played with him. He will give this latest battle 100 . I wish him all the best.

I am so proud of him for creating a short documentary that hopefully encourages other who are living with dementia to realise they can still live a rewarding and fulfilling life
