Jason Madden

My name is Jason Madden, I grew up in a small country town called Muswellbrook in NSW. Growing up I had different obstacles then most other people my age, I was born with Spastic Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy. Rugby League was the biggest sport in my town, as with a lot of country towns. Even though I couldn’t run on the field, watching the boys play was my escape. 

My own health and fitness journey began with attending my local gym, this then progressed to hand cycling which I quickly fell in love with. My first charity ride was for the starlight foundation in September 2022. I rode 6km a day for 30 days, proving I could achieve anything I put my mind to.

The Concussion Legacy Foundation has always reached a spot for me that I feel close to. I have two friends that play professional football and couldn’t think of a better way to raise awareness by providing information to the public around how a concussion has effects on the brain. I will be forever thankful to the Concussion Legacy Foundation Australia in supporting me along my next big ride of completing 250kms in 30 days.
