Seeking New Challenges with Cerebral Palsy
Ойын-сауық
23-year-old Nikayla Wood has been working on her fitness and confidence as she gets ready to tackle skydiving, skiing, jet-boating, and other big adventures. Living with Athetoid Cerebral Palsy, which affects her motor skills and speech, Nik never imagined that adventure tourism would be accessible to her. But with inspiration from others living with disability, a new-found motivation, and her strong zest for life - Nik is embarking on the trip of a lifetime. / attitudepictures

Her caregiver is rocking, and what an adventure junkie!
She’s accomplished so much in only 23 years 😍 and that hair 😩😍
In the US, we would never be allowed to do that as caregivers/nurses, and it breaks my heart! I'm so glad she has a caregiver who has pushed her out of her comfort zone. I wish all my patients could have someone like that!

You are so right. The US has so many restrictions and limitations when it comes to caregiving. We need to learn from other countries what true caregiving is.

Because it’s unsafe for us, we would be in danger and some of them can’t function
❤️ Brilliant! What an amazing partnership! May Dena be blessed in the same way she obviously blesses others!!!
She has done so much at her young age! Love her spirt!! God bless her! Sure hope she keeps living her best life!! Lots braver than me! So glad she got to do it all. And she enjoys her future adventures!!
Lovely care taker and even lovelier young woman!
Nikayla you’re so pretty! I love your hair colour, and your smile. I also love the design on your wheelchair wheels. I think you’ve shared such a great message for everyone to do the things you’ve always wanted to do. I think so often we get caught up in the typical life things and forget that we can do really exciting things. Thank you for that! I need to challenge myself to do that more
This woman has single handedly normalized what the world sees as a fairly severe disability! She makes me want to be a better person!
Great carer. I wish I had a carer like this!
I have so much respect for her. She's beautiful and adventurous. Thanks for sharing your story
What an amazing and beautiful young woman. I also have cerebral palsy, not as bad as her, but she is much more brave than I am. I wouldn't have the courage to jump out of a plane.
The caregiver is a real gem. I hope she takes care of all forever and help her realize her dreams
Omg she literally is the best, I love her spunk and can do attitude. I was literally watching this saying you go girl!!!
I think I have a new hero and someone to admire! What a brave and beautiful woman!!!
Good job ladies. Both Nikayla and care giver were awesome. Best of luck in the future.
Thank you guys, especially Nik, for sharing your story. It's great to see what you have achieved by getting out of your comfort zone, over and over again. Your story, and that of the people on your side, is really inspiring!
Amazing job guys!!! Plaese give us more and more of these stories!!!
These Attitude people do well-made documentaries.
I love this channel cuz mostly it inspires me and many other. And I liked taking care of this amazing brave girl. But to be honest, I think this video might not has positive impact on millions who cannot afford such a nice opportunity, so for someone with some disabilities other videos included more inspiring messages. Thank you for all your efforts. And my greetings and love to the amazing lovely brave girl
How great is it to have a caretaker that’s up for adventures? Absolutely amazing. Nikayla, you’re awesome!
💓So happy for her, fabulous great memories made possible💓I was a canoe coach until my disability became to bad would love to surprise my friend in NZ & go canoeing 🛶 again if possible💓
Thank you Nik for sharing your story! That really seemed like an amazing trip, I am not sure I would be able to jump out of a plane as confidently as you did! I hope you take that skiing trip and share that adventure with us!
Just perfection! You go girl!!!
I have cp but it's mild. I walk but not perfect. One leg is a bit shorter than the other so I have a limp. I have 2 boys and I am also divorced but all in all life hasn't been so bad. As a young kid I was made fun of and bullied. When you have a physical disability you have a thick skin and not care what others think. Live life the best you can.
What incredible women!
What a wicked trip!! I love this country and our organisations that are so willing to work with everyone to experience what this place has to offer. THRILLS!!🇳🇿❤️
She is got a beautiful smile, and more when she is really happy!! :D
What a beautiful soul! She seems like she would be so fun to hang out with!
Nik and her caregiver are so motivational! What an amazing video :)
I just think 🤔 this is the best documentary I’ve seen. I had a smile 😀 on my face throughout the whole thing . Nicky, you are a beautiful 😻 and wonderful daring woman 👩. You have done what a lot of able bodied person are afraid 😟 of doing. Good on you. I wish that you are able to have a lot more of these adventures. ❤️❤️❤️
What an adventurous Soul courageous so smart and outgoing not letting nothing stop you are getting in your way I am so glad that God has blessed you to link up with Geo so that you can have that experience🤩😃👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Amazing showcase of great people and great destinations¡!!¡!!!¡!
What an amazing team this young lady and her caregiver make . !!! Hats off to both of them for finding ways to achieve Nickys goals , and all power to them : )
God bless you. Amen
I loved this
Brave girl 💝 We have the very same hair cut & color! Cool taste :-)
love her! Much braver than I am!
Now that is what I call true adventure and,yes,good to be with a carer with the adventure bug and barge undies
Only thing I would like is the caregiver to take a class on the correct way to get a person up. She continues to grab her under her arms that's can do a lit of damage to her arms. Besides that she a good person to care about her the way she does.
Hope you have a good long happy life.keep strong have faith youll go far in life.
Lovely and inspiring story to us all, disabled or not! ❤
Looks like fun!
What a bonding what an achiever .
Oh my gosh what an inspiring story. Carpe diem!
Cool!
I have HD Huntington disease chores and PTSD and OCD and at one Point time diagnose with schizophrenia
So Cool
If not for her ambitious caregiver, many of those achievements may never have been possible for Nikayla. Rock on girls.
God bless
Girl♥️
❤️
Wow
Really got to commend the narration being done from her point of view instead of having a narrator just talk about her
It's just a dream n a video for me cause it is impossible problem is money 💵💸
How do you find a caregiver like this?????
