Series 2: Episode 12) CamCan Services - Marc Lema
How effective can innovative supports be in setting up a business for a person with a disability? Anthea and Marc Lema's vision for their son Cameron not only focused on creating the best life possible for Cameron, but also adopted innovative supports. 14 years later and Cam Can Services is continuing to thrive, as is Cameron.
Anthea and Marc Lema
Marc and Anthea Lema are the parents of seven children. The concept of creating CAM CAN, a Disability Services Organisation, was borne out of Marc and Anthea’s personal experience in creating innovative supports for their son Cameron who has an intellectual disability. At the age of 32, Cameron is the proprietor of his own business which has been successfully operating for 14 years. Cam also moved into his own home at the age of 18 where he continues to live with his flat mate, now good friend. Cam lives a meaningful and active life in his local community.
