The real life story of a boy with an incurable lung disease, and his seemingly impossible dream to overcome it. His self-belief resulting in the realisation of his dream.

Annual 65 Roses Cystic Fibrosis Ball

Last nights Cystic Fibrosis 65 Roses Ball was a resounding success. It was attended by nearly 400 people at The Adelaide Convention Centre. Just prior to the main on stage auction, I was interviewed on the stage.  The aim was to predominantly hear about my life story, coping & growing up with Cystic Fibrosis. Due to feedback from one CF parent Brad’s comment that “CF parents are the unsung heroes of the CF Community” had her in tears. Prior to the interview the MC, former south Australian & Australian wicket keeper Wayne Phillips, requested to meet me. During this conversation I gave Wayne one of his Taylor Made Inspirations business cards & filled him in on my speaking career. As a result during the on stage interview Wayne brought to the attention of the corporate’s in the audience Brad’s speaking business & mentioned his believeyourdream website. It certainly was a successful fundraising night as the on stage auction items went for approximately $20,000.

 

So after another great 65 Roses CF Ball: wining, dining & dancing, my wife, Kaye, and I are already planning to attend next year.  Hopefully some of you can join us?

 

WELL DONE & CONGRATULATIONS CYSTIC FIBROSIS SOUTH AUSTRALIA ON ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL 65 ROSES FUNDRAISING BALL.
