Abigails Wish

12th of March, 2014

Abigail came all the way from Philadelphia USA to live her dream, an extreme week in the adventure capital of the world. Makingtrax was delighted to put together this trip of a lifetime. Abigail has tetraplegic cerebral palsy,   unable to communicate verbally and no body control. This incredible young lady proved nothing is impossible.

Our first activity was a helicopter ride to a beautiful glacier in the national park of Mt Cook. After a soak in the beautiful hot pools of Omarama we departed to Queenstown where Abigail and family enjoyed the experience of soaring like an eagle, paragliding off Coronet Peak. With the help of Makingtrax paragliding buggy, a beautiful experience...Next thrill was a jet boat ride up the Shotover River before swinging off the largest cliff jump in the world, the Shotover Canyon swing. Abigail and her father Thomas had the time of their life on the tandem swing. Next on the list, to the famous aerodrome in Wanaka where Ivan Kripper, New Zealand's champion aerobatic pilot took Abbey to the sky where they performed loops, spins and stalls. To finish Abigails incredible adventure on a high we flew to Nelson, where Abigail skydived from 13,000 feet with Abel Tasman skydive. Making this all safe and easy the Makingtrax skydiving harness was used. It was sad saying good byes. Abigail is one of the most amazing beautiful young ladys I have ever had the chance to experience. Her energy is magical. Abigail may not be able to communicate verbally but emotionally she has the soul of an angel. We will stay in contact and look forward to our next adventure...Check out our photos in Our Gallery
