An amazing Australian
Earlier this year, I did something I have never done before. I nominated someone to receive an Australian of the Year award. This extraordinary young woman is the person I nominated for Australian of the Year & Young Australian of the Year. I had never nominated anyone before because no-one had moved and inspired me enough for me to do so. When I first came across Carly's loving work here, I was moved to tears by the courage, commitment and love she lives in every little step she takes and every name of a precious lost child she writes on Christian's beach.
In my wildest of dreams I hoped that maybe Carly would be a finalist and we would finally get to meet each other. Well, yesterday they announced the finalists for each state and while Carly isn't a finalist in her home state of Western Australia, I just want to say publicly, Carly, you are a hero, an inspiration and a blessing to all who cross your path. The world is an infinitely better place because you are in it. You are without question, my Australian of the Year!

Noah
I just learned about a 5 year old boy named Noah Biorkman who is in the last stages of a 2 year battle with Neuroblastoma Cancer. His family is celebrating Christmas next week and Noah's request is to get lots of Christmas cards.
Please let's make this brave little boy's wish come true.
Send cards to:
Noah Biorkman
1141 Fountain View Circle
South Lyon, Mi 48178
Lets see how many cards
we can get together for this brave little boy.
Thank you
