“as long as I can be winched into a boat, I will go fishing!”
Graeme Sinclair’s story is amazing! Since 1993 he has been on TV3 with his programme Gone Fishin’. Graeme has become one of New Zealand’s most popular personalities.

In 1997 Graeme was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Because of his passion for life in the face of an illness that would put most people out of action, Graeme’s story is one of inspiration and motivation. In his own way Graeme covers material on living every day as though it was your last. He talks about being a healthy successful TV personality one day and being confined to a wheelchair the next day.

He has very strong views on life with disability and the role of Government and your audience will be inspired by his personal philosophy.

In addition to living his passion, Graeme is also a very successful author with his book “Gone Fishin' – The Book” and his video has received enthusiastic feedback from here and overseas.

Allow Graeme to share his life with your audience and let them see how one man achieves success every day with a spirit that won’t be beaten.
