With just a year to go until the Paralympics in Tokyo, the countdown has been marked with a pop-up container in Auckland.
One person hoping he'll be there is Cody Everson, who is tasked with leading the Wheel Blacks back to where they haven't been in more than a decade - the Paralympics.
Everson offers a timely reminder of just how long it's been since the Wheel Blacks have been to a Paralympics, Beijing 2008 the last time they qualified.
"For me and a lot of the others who have missed out beforehand, this is a great opportunity," Everson said.
"I wasn't even in a wheelchair playing rugby in 2008."
His injury came three years later during a freak accident in school boy rugby.
Wheelchair rugby soon became a passion for the 24-year-old, and now Everson's out to get back to the heights of Athens 2004, where they won gold.
"You've got to dream and you've gotta hope and you've got to be confident," Everson said.
"Paralympics is the pinnacle of wheelchair rugby."
If the Wheelblacks beat South Korea next week they'll qualify for Tokyo.
But for Para-cyclist Nicole Murray, the road isn't quite as simple. She first has to choose between track or road.
"I could qualify in either but at the moment the track is my strongest event," Murray said.
She certainly won't be leaving qualification to chance.
She trains six days a week- two of them also spent as a guide at the Waitomo Caves.
She then travels to Cambridge to train at the Velodrome. The rest is spent on the roads around Otorohanga.
"It's quite a delicate balance, I have to be quite organised to make sure all of my life is completely stable." Murray said.
The sacrifices will be all worth it to line up at the Paralympics.
