Thanks everyone. First off I’d like to pay
credit to the Disabled Surfers Association.

0:00:27.680,0:00:32.220
The work they do is truly inspiring and especially
the Gold Coast branch for allowing me the

0:00:32.220,0:00:36.850
access that I had. It’s only through such
actions that we get to write the stories that

0:00:36.850,0:00:43.149
we do. I’d also like to thank the Australian
Sports Commission for the award but also for

0:00:43.149,0:00:50.149
recognising this category. When I first suggested
the story in an editorial meeting, one of

0:00:50.450,0:00:53.750
my colleagues made the comment that they weren’t
sure that they really wanted to wake up on

0:00:53.750,0:00:58.280
a Saturday and read a story about, you know,
someone with a disability. We all reacted

0:00:58.280,0:01:03.079
as you can imagine you would. And I’m pleased
that the guys here on the Australian Sports

0:01:03.079,0:01:09.000
Commission recognise that sometimes the media
need a hand as well to push the cause. Thank you.
