Sydney fundraiser a huge success

The north Sydney community, with support from quite a few rural friends, raised more than $230,000 at a fundraiser for Brett Stevenson on Saturday night, July 24, at Dockside, Cockle Bay. Just proves community spirit is still alive and well in the city as well as the bush! Jenny and I are pictured above with Brett and his wife Jo. Brett suffered a spinal cord injury diving into the surf at Avoca Beach early this year, leaving him a quadriplegic but he is getting some movement back into his legs and recently started walking with support. He's got a great attitude and I wish him good luck with his recovery. See more photos from the night here.
