Portrait of Dillon Maydon

Dillon Maydon

Ambassador
New Zealand

Dillon has served as a FARA ambassador since 2024 and dedicates his time to raise awareness and show succession & positive stories of those in the FA and others in the disability community. He loves spending time in an outdoor environment or doing physical activities like playing wheelchair rugby, camping, or fishing. He also loves spending time with his friends and family and helping his community where needed. His favorite FARA event is the Lend Us Your Muscle. Dillon would tell someone newly diagnosed, “FA might seem challenging but always keep a positive outlook and remember, you can still do anything just in a different way but never give up and set long term goals that you want for yourself and focus on them to see and never look back”.
