A CAUSE CLOSE TO THE HEART

-

NEXT week is Legacy Week, a time when fundraisin­g to help the families of our deceased and incapacita­ted veterans hits top gear. Someone who truly appreciate­s the work done by Legacy is Olympic gold medal winner, swimmer Duncan Armstrong. As the MC at the St Hilda’s Foundation Legacy Lunch he told a personal tale of how his family was a beneficiar­y of the charity’s great work. Duncan’s grandfathe­r was captured in WWI and spent time in a Turkish prison. Upon his return to Australia it was Legacy who assisted the family and in part helped to produce an Olympic champion. Lest We Forget.
