Pamela discovered their stories when her young daughter Jessica was knocked down by a car at a pedestrian crossing and seriously hurt. The accident set Pamela off on a mission to try to discover the crucial factors which enable some individuals to overcome extraordinary trauma and still lead fulfilling lives in circumstances which would crush most of us. She hoped to find clues which would help her daughter’s recovery. She met Allana and Mark in the course of her search and was immediately struck by the power of their experiences and the strength of their characters. Allana was left with paraplegia after a horrific light plane crash in her early twenties. She had to battle fear of flying and severe physical handicaps but has gone on to gain her commercial chopper pilot’s license. She is now in the middle of a solo flight around Australia. A diving accident at the age of sixteen left Mark Bashaw with complete quadriplegia. That means he is paralysed from the neck down with only a little limited movement in his arms. Despite incredible physical limitations Mark has managed a marriage, a highly successful business career and at the age of forty, is IBM’s international marketing manager for Australia and New Zealand. He went for the job without disclosing his handicap. These are stories to rival the saga of Janice Shepherd as recounted in her best selling books “Never Tell Me Never” and “Dare to Fly”.23All That Glitters / A Charmed Life24Her Excellency / The Makeover Man25Valentine's Day26A Wing and a Prayer / His Own Trumpet27Broken Heart / To Di For28I Had A Dream / Great Scott29Winter of Our Discontent30The Good Life / Spirit of Arnhem31The Comeback King / Out of the Blue32Upon A White Horse / As Time Goes By33The Homecoming / Up A Gum Tree34Master of Illusion / All You Need is Love35The Mission36Lost and Found / The Promised Land37In God's Name38Roads Less Travelled / Without A TraceSeason 3Season 4Season 5Season 6Season 7Season 8Season 9Season 10Season 11Season 12Season 13Season 14Season 15Season 16Season 17Season 18Season 19Season 20Season 21Season 22Season 23Season 24Season 25Season 26Season 27Season 28Season 29Season 30Season 31
