3.VII.(c)   The Business Plan incorporates Assistance Procedures and Offer and Request Forms on the Youthful Exuberance Lifestyle Programme Website for Abled Participants to be granted Abled Participant Assistant status to assist Disabled Interested Adults where the Abled Participant Assistant's efforts are regularly acknowledged and publicised, with exceptional assistance recognised at the Annual Presentation Awards Dinner.

Section 3.VII.(a) informed that the Writer had cycled a tandem on +30 different days with 6 different vision impaired adults, with one of the Disabled, Toby, also suffering diminished function on his right side.  It generally put an extra hour on the Writer's ride time by collecting the Disabled person from their home and returning them to their home after the 100km (ave) ride.  However, the benefits of assisting a Disabled Adult easily outweighed any cost. 

The benefits have been twofold:

1.         The Disabled Interested Adult not only enjoyed physically participating in a 100km ave ride relying on another pair of eyes, but more so the social interaction at the two or three 30 min Nosh Stops to refuel and take a breather during each bicycle ride when fellow cyclists get to chat. 

2.         Many of the other cyclists on those 100km (ave) bike rides went out of their way to assist the Disabled, particularly with bonhomie and chit chat.  It is a slightly humbling experience to assist a Disabled and it benefits us all.  So it isn't merely the Disabled person who benefits.

An integral focus on the Youthful Exuberance Lifestyle Programme Website would be to provide Assistance Procedures for Abled Participant Assistants to assist Disabled Australians where -

(a)        the Abled Adult Assistant felt good about it and such assistance was profiled/acknowledged;

(b)        Common Bond Support Groups amongst various District Recreational Exercise Groups were strengthened through assimilating Disabled; and

(c)        exceptional Abled Adult Assistants are recognised at the Annual Presentation Awards Dinner in each capital city, so more and more Abled Australians want to be an Abled Adult Assistant.

Australia has several exemplary Disabled athletes who have overcome enormous adversity to excel in various sports.   Profiling, at the outset of the Pilot (in NSW) and also at Propagation (to the remainder of Australia), in RTV Promotions a few of 6 World Class Disabled Australian Athletes would be a compelling motivational tool to encourage -

(a)        Australians with no such Disability(ies) that there was no material impediment to commencing a Recreational Exercise Activity(ies); and

(b)        encourage many Disabled Australians to take up the offer for Abled Participant Assistants to assist them, contingent, of course, upon support systems being developed and listed in the Youthful Exuberance Lifestyle Programme Website to enable Disabled to reliably receive Abled Participant Assistant support so that the Disabled can participate on an equal footing and derive the enormous psychological, behavioural and physical benefits which can motivate them to 'inter alia' higher challenges in employment with lower reliance on social welfare.
