What a fantastic result to everyone involved.

I would like to express my gratitude to everyone involved, who have contributed in making this day the success that it was.
To my family and friends, who volunteered, the day would not have been possible without your hard work and support. With love and thanks I am truly grateful to you all, I owe you big time!!


An even bigger thankyou to Tim Hartung (Dylans Dad) for making time out to be present on the day. Tim gave us an update on Dylans progress and shared some very kind words which extended to all of us who were present on the day. I was truly touched by his sincere words of thanks. It makes it all worth it. Thankyou Tim.
