Mark Wilson arrived in the world with cerebral palsy and a long list of things he supposedly wouldn’t do. Walking and talking were at the top. He does both now and never quite stuck to the script. Years of therapy, a stubborn streak that could power the national grid and a family who treated limits like background noise shaped someone who learned early that progress doesn’t have to look pretty to count.

Mark grew up wobbling his way through mainstream schooling, figuring out life the same way he still does: with humour, curiosity and a refusal to let other people’s predictions become his reality. He’s built a solid career in finance, written a memoir with his childhood therapist and become the kind of advocate who talks about cerebral palsy in a way that makes it feel familiar instead of medical.

Wobbles isn’t the centre of his story. It’s just part of the ride. What people really connect with is the perspective he’s gained from all the so-called limits he broke right past. The good, the hard, the ridiculous bread clip episodes, all of it lives in his book Wobbles and in the way he shows up in the world. Mark’s not here to be inspiring. He’s here to be honest, funny and real, which ends up being a whole lot more useful.
