David SOUTHWICK (Caulfield) (13:02): I believe in fate, and I want to congratulate the member for Pakenham on that awesome speech. I cannot believe it, but I was following her today to talk about Run4Rossy, which lost a young boy of 31 to MND. The first thing that Chris lost was his voice. He could still run in Run4Rossy, but he could not speak. For the member to be able to use the machine that Chris was using is just so unbelievable. I want to congratulate her on her passion.
I want to give a big plug for Run4Rossy for Karen, his mother, who has been fighting the fight and creating the awareness for the five years that Run4Rossy has been running, and to Josh Webster and Josh Newman, the two boys that played with Chris at the Frankston Football Club. Get down to Caulfield Grammar and support Run4Rossy and Chris and his fight for MND.
