Last night the Wacky Wednesday team were dazzled with a visit from Australian Swimming sensation and Beijing Gold Medalist Emily Seebohm. Emily won her Gold Medal at the recent Beijing Olympics for her amazing result in the Australian Womens 4 x 100m Medley.
Emily had a welcoming crew of some patients that were doing craft in the studio eagerly awaiting her arrival. After reviewing the masterpieces being created for our Bug themed night Emily headed up to the wards to visit more of the children.
The strength of the children (parents and nurses as well) was tested as they got to hold Emilys Olympic Gold Medal and many got photos taken and received autographs as a keepsake for the night.
We wish Emily all the best in her training and future events.
Thanks to Emily, her father John, Melissa from Queensland Academy of Sport and Jason for their help in facilitating this visit.
