If I Can, You Can The Hayden Walsh Biography
Author(s): Karen O’sullivan
If I Can, You Can is the story of 31-year-old Hayden Walsh, who lives with cerebral palsy.
In his biography Hayden says, “My Mum once told me that I was given the body I have, and the life I have, and it’s up to me to make the most of it.That’s what I am doing; living with the body I was given to the best of my ability”.
In this first-hand account of Hayden’s life, as told to author Karen O’Sullivan, Hayden candidly lays bare the heartache and triumphs of a life lived to its fullest in a body sometimes unwilling.
The much-loved local has lived in Kyneton for his entire life and has been involved with the Kyneton Football Netball Club for more than two decades.
He began playing Auskick as an 11-year-old, played for the South Kyneton juniors then re-joined the club as a volunteer when he was 17.
Hayden was last year instrumental in getting the club’s first all-ability FIDA team up and running.
He is a partner to Yessah, with whom he shares three-year-old daughter Shanaya.
