I recently had the pleasure of attending a Forest Hill Lions Club meeting with my father where we met a wonderful bunch of people who do fantastic work within the community raising money for people and organisations in need from all walks of life. I was generously presented with a cheque from President Angelo Falcone.

In particular I would like to acknowledge Les Jones who instigated the grant through the club committee. In recognition for my public speaking in the community and work with spinal cord research they supported me financially, as did the Robert Rose Foundation, by paying for some substantial repairs to my van.

If you are interested in becoming a member of the Forest Hill Lions Club or you feel you could help in any way call 0458 299 464, their website is Lions Club of Forest Hill or contact Angelo Falcone at

Equally if you would like to make a donation to the Robert Rose Foundation who focus on helping people with spinal cord injuries call (03) 9418 0426, or if you have a spinal injury and would like to make an application for a grant e-mail

I sincerely appreciate this financial assistance from both organisations as their joint generosity has enabled me to continue these important community activities and I thank them whole-heartedly for this wonderful support.
