About Sam Longmore
Sam is an advocate, entrepreneur and elite adaptive athlete whose work is driven by resilience, purpose and action.
Just over 12 years ago, Sam’s life changed following a car accident that resulted in her becoming a wheelchair user. Rather than limiting her, the experience strengthened her determination to challenge barriers, particularly within rural and agricultural Australia.
Sam runs an agricultural contract spraying business, now in its third year, alongside a mobile bar business with three fully equipped bars servicing regional events. Her entrepreneurial approach reflects a strong connection to community and industry.
An accomplished adaptive water skier, Sam competes at an international level. In November 2025, she broke her second world record at the World Disabled Water Ski Championships, following the announcement that she had won both her category and the overall title in the Weekly Times / Harvey Norman Shine Awards.
Sam is currently in her second year working with Verto as a disability advocate and is a sought-after speaker on inclusion, accessibility and rural mental health.
In June 2026, Sam will undertake The Big Wheel, a 400km wheelchair trek over eight days from Corowa to Yass, raising funds for a rural mental health charity and encouraging a nationwide mid-year mental health check-in.
She is also the author of a six-book children’s series about farm animals with disabilities, aimed at fostering inclusion from a young age.
Whether she’s on the water, on the road, on stage or in business, Sam brings an unwavering belief that barriers are meant to be challenged, and that meaningful change happens when courage meets consistency.
