The unsung hero responsible for all the medals won, records broken by, books written about, TV shows hosted by and portraits painted of @KurtFearnley

[KurtFearnley's Chair @FearnleysChair]

Pretty bummed I missed out on a role in this but still well worth a watch...

Surprised @TatyanaMcFadden’s chair isn’t on Twitter yet. #hugefan

Hang on...I think we all know who the true comic offsider is.

[Pamcutus of Borg, resistance is futile. @Pamduckling]

8 years on twitter and I joined for one man @kurtfearnley and his comic offsider @FearnleysChair I'm the worst twitterfan though. I get my dose of inspiration and then don't check out your feed for months! Loving you on #OnePlusOne

I wasn’t crying... It was the dust... lots of dust.... #AusoftheYear

[Kurt Fearnley @kurtfearnley]

In equal measure, I’m incredibly surprised and grateful. A real privilege to be named NSW Australian of the Year!

[KurtFearnley's Chair @FearnleysChair]

[KurtFearnley's Chair @FearnleysChair]

Thanks Mick. Well done Kurt.
But I’m claiming a joint share in #TheDon Award, because as we all know, he’d be no-where without me.

[Mick Turner @MicTurner100]

Australian sport recognises an athlete with a disability with it's highest honour for the first time. Bravo and congrats @kurtfearnley and of course @FearnleysChair #SAHOF #TheDon

[Sport Australia Hall of Fame @sportaushof]

[Mick Turner @MicTurner100]

Get around it Australia! About 8.25pm tonight @kurtfearnley and @FearnleysChair on the track one last time! #GC2018Athletics https://t.co/vDnh9ld9pJ

[KurtFearnley's Chair @FearnleysChair]

Caption this...🤣

[KurtFearnley's Chair @FearnleysChair]

Well done mate. Obviously, as Vice Captain I’ll be calling the shots though...as usual. https://t.co/aA92QNZfej

[Kurt Fearnley @kurtfearnley]

Really honoured with this one. The Principal of Carcoar Public in 1985 had to fight for me to be included into a mainstream education setting. 2018 I get the honour of co-captaining a combined Able & Para Australian Athletics Team. It’s been a journey:) bring on GC2018!! https://t.co/m2qIWmL86X

[AUS Paralympic Team @AUSParalympics]

@mrdaverobbo @katemcloughlin4 @FearnleysChair We were thinking it could get its own stint as Flag Bearer?

[KurtFearnley's Chair @FearnleysChair]

Obviously... https://t.co/gLzNIeH23q

[Dave Robertson @mrdaverobbo]

Brilliant news. So that obviously makes @FearnleysChair Vice Captain again! https://t.co/RGQnSmBKj2

[AUS Paralympic Team @AUSParalympics]

@AUSParalympics @kurtfearnley Its ok...I’ve always dreamt of being melted down one day and turned into a sit-ski. I know a good hill in Carcoar to practice on. #FearnleysSki

[AUS Paralympic Team @AUSParalympics]
