How to climb a mountain in a wheelchair: Melanie Tran at TEDxYouth@Sydney

Melanie Tran, Duke of Edinburgh's first medalist affected with SMA, tells of the time she decided to stop living life as a bystander. She explores the value of self-confidence and how powerful it can be. Melanie Tran is a Year 11 student at Bossley Park High School in Fairfield Sydney. She has Spinal Muscular Atrophy, a condition that has left her wheelchair-bound since birth. Melanie is the first person with SMA to complete the Duke of Ed Program with the help of MDNSW (Muscular Dystrophy NSW). As part of the Duke of Ed program, Melanie was the first Australian student to complete a training course in product design (the 'Creo' Program) offered by the University of Illinois. After receiving the Bronze Duke of Ed Medal, MDNSW has employed Melanie to manage their website. Melanie is also currently completing her Gold Medal for Duke of Ed. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
