Putting the wellbeing of others ahead of their own is something many women do without realising.

    I nominate Naomi Taylor

    I would like to nominate Naomi Taylor for this luncheon. I first met Naomi through our Family Day Care where our children became close friends. Last year Naomi and her partner Ben discovered their son William had Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), which is a neurodegenerative disease that eventually takes away your ability to walk, talk, swallow and breathe. Naomi Has rallied tirelessly to spread awareness of the disease and even appeared at Parliament House to try to get Spinraza (which slows the progression of the disease) on the PBS in Australia. This was successful and was placed on the PBS... Continue reading

    Selfless powerhouse of love

    by NDC, over 6 years ago

    When my friend's husband died suddenly of an undiagnosed heart condition she fell apart the way anyone would if they had lost a brilliant, loving, supportive, inspiring life partner. She reached out for help and she leaned on those who loved her (and there are a lot of us) as the inconceivable and terrible truth sank in. 

    That lasted for maybe a few days. Because she is herself a brilliant, loving, supporting and inspiring individual. To start with she had three children of her own to look after and two step-children who needed her presence, even as she her world... Continue reading
