Very, very inspirational stories, but only one winner tonight. This award goes to Leanne
West, of Network Ten.
Now we welcome Leanne West to the stage, to collect the first award of the night.
Thank you. First of all, I would like to say it is a thrill to get this award with Michelle
Errichielloin the audience here tonight. Michelle and Mark were incredibly generous in sharing
their story with us, I would also like to acknowledge David Gretch, a young fellow with
Cerebral Palsy who, is living his dream of playing rugby league. As for our disability
athletes, they probably get, well let’s be frank, they probably don’t get enough
media coverage. Most of them get a little bit, perhaps once every four years, as the
Paralympics come around, but these guys are, are, inspiring and they are doing amazing
things, every single day. Thank you.
