Harriet has two exciting outings

Amicus participant Harriett has had an exciting time lately with a couple of fun adventures and outings.

Harriett had a wonderful walk to the dog park and, on another day, was able to meet one of her favourite singers – Reece Mastin.

On Friday 8 July, Harriett offered to take her support worker’s dog, Harry, to the local dog park for some exercise and, from all accounts, all humans and animals had a great time.

She had a terrific time playing there with Harry, giving him treats and giving treats to some of the other friendly dogs as well.

Harriett was also able to meet and chat with other people about their dogs.

This is the first time Harriett has been to the dog park, but she has said she would like it to become a regular activity where she can access fun and exercise in the one activity.

Harriet and her support team believe the outings to the dog park could become a new community participation goal for Harriett to access.

The other exciting outing for Harriett was attending a recent concert in Bendigo featuring Reece Mastin – one of her favourite singers.

Harriett and her support worker, Catherine had dinner at a hotel restaurant and were able to watch the pre-show entertainment while waiting for Reece to come on stage.

Unfortunately, Reece did not perform until quite late, and Harriett was very tired by then and unable to stay for the whole concert.

But, in a fantastic bit of good fortune, Harriet was able to meet Reece in person backstage.

This was an exciting moment for Harriet, and we send lots of thanks to those who made it possible.
