Born in Sydney, Australia, Philip travelled to Denmark and decided to stay after gaining access to a care system that was not available in Australia at the time. A film crew followed his transition journey and even recorded a documentary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"core-block core-paragraph\">The documentary was centered around his experiences living independently at an integrated high school. The high school, Egmont H\u00f8jskolen, focuses on equipping students with disabilities with life skills and offers them endless opportunities to participate in a plethora of activities; which range from needlework to rock climbing and sailing. Taking part in this documentary, and spending time at the school enabled Philip to not only acquaint himself with other members of the Duchenne community but also gave him a taste of what Denmark has to offer for people with disabilities. This discovery persuaded him to permanently relocate to the \u201cSmiling City\u201d of Aarhus in Denmark and one day he aims to introduce more parts of Denmark\u2019s assisted living aid to his birth country of Australia.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-large is-resized is-style-lightbox\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ptcbio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/07\/Philip-Hojgaard-Olsen1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Philip H\u00f8jgaard-Olsen with a monocle\" class=\"wp-image-13763\" style=\"width:241px;height:321px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ptcbio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/07\/Philip-Hojgaard-Olsen1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ptcbio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/07\/Philip-Hojgaard-Olsen1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.ptcbio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/07\/Philip-Hojgaard-Olsen1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.ptcbio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/07\/Philip-Hojgaard-Olsen1-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ptcbio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/07\/Philip-Hojgaard-Olsen1-400x533.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.ptcbio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/07\/Philip-Hojgaard-Olsen1-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><button class=\"modal-toggle\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"modal\" data-bs-target=\"#mg-image-modal\" aria-label=\"View image in lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ptcbio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/07\/Philip-Hojgaard-Olsen1-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Philip H\u00f8jgaard-Olsen with a monocle\" hidden=\"\" loading=\"eager\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ptcbio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/07\/Philip-Hojgaard-Olsen1-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.ptcbio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/07\/Philip-Hojgaard-Olsen1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.ptcbio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/07\/Philip-Hojgaard-Olsen1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ptcbio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/07\/Philip-Hojgaard-Olsen1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.ptcbio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/07\/Philip-Hojgaard-Olsen1-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ptcbio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/07\/Philip-Hojgaard-Olsen1-400x533.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"core-block core-paragraph\">Philip has, however, already made life-changing contributions to help people with disabilities in Australia. With the help of his dad, he persuaded Australia\u2019s leading car service to provide affordable transportation to individuals with disabilities. This resulted in the introduction of a fleet of wheelchair-accessible vehicles called \u201cPhilip the Carnival,\u201d named after Philip. Before moving to Denmark he also won the young achievers award at the Muscular Dystrophy NSW Annual Muscular Dystrophy Camp and was even an advisor to the Cerebral Palsy Alliance. His current endeavour as a board member of the <strong>Integrated Living Community<\/strong> in Denmark involves raising awareness on economically friendly and sustainable housing, that is inclusive of people with disabilities. The organisation, founded by Philip\u2019s father, aims to provide Danish individuals with a zero-net-carbon integrated living community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"core-block core-paragraph\">\u00a0Living independently has given him a new perspective and ability to make his own choices.

Most impressively, he is eagerly waiting to volunteer at next year\u2019s Gr\u00f8n Koncert, an annually reoccurring Danish music festival that features A-listers like Aqua.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"core-block core-paragraph\">\u00a0Philip is looking at life through a positive lens and has his sight set on huge objectives.
