“She's a very determined young girl," he confirmed, "At one point, her mother was talking and she said ‘listen, Mom, it doesn't always go your way' - that really captured me. To meet her and see how well she's doing is a thrill for me. When you walk through St. Vincent Children's Hospital, it really puts things into perspective. We can be disappointed for not winning races, but to think what these young children have to go through – and a lot of them do pull through – it shows their strength of character.

"To be able to excite somebody who has gone through an extreme amount is very special for me. By doing this, hopefully, it can mean an awful lot to some people and hopefully we can make it bigger so we can do more for the children.”
