How far will you go?
Recently, John Maclean shared his story of grit and resilience with the Sonder team, he asked us to consider how we might reach our goals. He encouraged us to never stop challenging ourselves and to recognise our own potential as a business and as individuals.
After being involved in an accident that would change the course of his career, his mobility, and life, John posed this very question and he ran with it... quite literally. Choosing not to be defined by his wheelchair, John pushed boundaries, eventually leaving the wheelchair behind by teaching himself not only to walk again but to inspire us all to go a little further.

Curing cancer. Changing lives.
In May 2021, four of the Sonder team took to the road alongside our friends at Woolworths Group to tackle 330km+ of NSW terrain across 3 days as part of Woolies Wheels. Together, they raised over $12,000 in funds for cancer research. Overall, the event raised more than $1.3 million.
We’re incredibly proud of Peter Mooney, Rebecca Evans, Elizabeth Notman and Clinton Chan for taking on the challenge and we are grateful to our partners and friends at Woolworths Group for allowing us to support this incredible event.
We’ll be back next year!

Bravery comes in many forms
The bushfire season of 2019/2020 saw Dean Symons extend his frontline services, temporarily stepping away from his role as a Duty Operations Manager at Sonder to defend his community and protect homes and land across New South Wales.
Dean has since been awarded the NSW Rural Fire Service Commissioner's Commendation for Bravery. We are delighted that the RFS has recognised Dean's courage during this time and his heroic efforts in saving the lives of many over that period, continually putting the lives of others before his own and going above and beyond the call of duty.
