Introducing John. In 2009 John and his wife
moved from Melbourne to Perth. John has Primary Progressive Aphasia and goes to the Floreat Conversation Group. He enjoys spending time with his family, having meals out and going to concerts.
Reflecting on his highlights of 2025, John shared that:
🏙️ He travelled to Melbourne a few times to watch his grandson play football.
🏉 John’s grandson plays football in the AFL, playing for St Kilda.
John’s hopes for 2026 include:
đź’Ş To stay strong and healthy and exercise often.
🏆 To visit Melbourne again and watch his grandson play football 🏉
🏝️ To visit Christmas Island
❤️ John’s advice for people with aphasia is to never give up.
Last week we posted that Jordan and his friend Maria would be busking in the city. And now we have proof!
Look at these two rock stars!
Jordan’s percussion skills are incredible. Playing with another musician AND in public is no mean feat. We are SO incredibly happy for Jordan (and his very proud dad Dave who kindly took and sent us this video to share).
We so look forward to hearing more of Jordan’s music.
We heard a rumour that as well as playing percussion and guitar, Jordan also sings….. More to come!
