Thirty Years of Me is the first book of DJ, sportsperson, sports coach, and disability awareness speaker Adam Hayes. It is a reflection on his first thirty years of life, detailing the ups and downs of life as a young person with a disability in the UK, from school to navigating the care system to living independently. He uses his rich life experience and the many challenges he has overcome as a teaching opportunity, giving other young people the tools that they need in order to avoid letting their disability be an obstacle. This memoir is accessible to all, giving valuable advice about money, mental health, and simply growing up and the responsibilities that come along with it. Thirty Years of Me demonstrates the wisdom that only comes from a life well-lived, showing everyone: where there's a wheel there's a way.
