Hi my name is Leo Hoffman and I’m an intern on the Challenge 2000 Marist Programme.

I have a rare disability called hereditary spastic paraplegic. I really like Challenge because here everyone can be themselves and learn from each other. My goal is to help others, hopefully as a Youth Worker and I’m studying to gain a Youth Work qualification and am learning a lot about how people act and react to different situations.

Oh and I love sports, especially basketball and I play wheelchair rugby for the Wellington team.
