Dear Supporter, Player,
Sponsors, Committee and Friends,
Most of you have heard or
read the news lately (Herald Sun & Leader Newspapers) that 2 of our
footballers in Jason Vaughan and Paul Evans had their necks broken in the same
game of Football for Mordialloc.
This event has had a
major effect on not only the two players, but both their families as they
struggle through the recovery process.
I am happy to say that,
at this point, both men are expected to make a full recovery, but neither guy
will ever play contact sport again.
These two guys are a
major part of our club and both brilliant sports people, and to see these
injuries occur, is horrific.
I cannot comment on the
incidents as they are currently under investigation by both the league and the
AFL. We will publish the results on our website though.
Folks, as Vice President
of this club, I , along with many others at the club, have struggled in dealing
with this situation, and watching these two guys go through their initial
injuries and now their recovery and rehab. I struggle to put it into words, the
devastation this has had on the guys and their families. In an instant, their
worlds have been turned up side down. Family holidays cancelled, Careers put on
hold, Businesses effected, They cannot drive the family car to pick up children
from school. Taking a shower is a struggle.
On the Wednesday 7th
July, the Mordialloc Supers and Masters Teams will be holding a Fundraising
Night to support both families.
The event will be held at
the:
Mordialloc Sporting Club,
Level 1 (Upstairs)
528 Main Street
Mordialloc.

Tickets $50.00 per person

Folks, we are aiming to
have over 200 people attend, and this email is to not only ask you to dig deep
for me, and the guys, I am also asking if, in any way, you would be in a
position to donate any goods or services that I could either Auction off or Raffle.

Alternatively, you could

the 2 families. Cheques and Money orders to be made out to the Mordialloc
