Photos of Third Trade Offer




After the absolutely amazing and touching offer from friends in Canberra yesterday, I have added the photos that Lea-Anne has emailed so you can see the trade in advance. I may actually be travelling to Canberra very soon for my employment. If this is the case and if possible, we will meet so I can give Lea-Anne a big hug for her support, and a handshake for Scotty(I'm sure Scotty won't be offended not to get a hug or kiss) and ofcourse complete the trade (sorry Australia Post).

Strike while the iron is hot ... re-evaluate what trade you may have now that the Gallaz cap signed by Tim Campbell (photographed by the Adelaide Sunday Newspaper with Connor modelling it) has now been traded. Please read how this trade eventuated and remember all funds from the final item traded will be donated to Heartkids Australia.

You may wonder how many people are really affected by congenital heart disease. Keep reading as I am going to inform you that it is more prevalent than I'm sure you think ...
1 in 100 babies are born with a heart defect;
There are currently 40,000 children in Australia being treated for congenital heart disease;
It is the most common birth defect and in fact twice as many children die from congenital heart disease than all childhood cancers combined;
For 80% of cases, the cause is largely unknown.

I am hoping that "The Special Zipper" can make that minor difference for some families ... maybe just knowing how it eventuated through generous people offering trades and other support will also help families through the difficult journey.
