Truly a Star is Born!!!
What an AMAZING achievement and what a wonderful organization to bring such joy to many disabled people. I could not believe my eye. You must have been in heaven - never thought you would swim in the sea again - not many dry eyes after watching the video and seeing the pictures.
Love and admiration

Hi all
Firstly Carol thanks for the IT info it seams everyone has seen the video. I was going to ask Billy how I could get the videos done but you were so excited that you beat me to it. I never even sent Billy the Video YOU did.

Now as for my BB, Billy thank you, you are wonderful the Family Blog is being viewed around the world. Our DSA here in Queensland, Gold Coast and Noosa branches were going to have a look last night. I have told them this morning to have another look as they have not yet seen the Video. By the way there r 4 more short videos. The one you got from Carol was the last video taken. I will forward to you for the blog the other 4 in order with a brief story.

I really appreciated your sending an e-mail to DSA Australia. I know within a few days I will be headlines.
DSA is an organisation run by Volunteers and they are trying very hard to make our Government understand that this is a much needed organisation for the people and that they require funding of some sort. Australia was the first Country to start the organisation Disabled Surfers Association. Any testimonials they receive will strengthen the cause for assistance from the government and any Companies who are willing to support them.

Thank you all for your wonderful words of encouragement

All my love
Tessy

Hey you, how did you get to be so clever? Thank you, thank you, thank you for the blog and updates. It is amazing. I am going to show it off to friends and Baart clan this weekend. I almost feel famous – I KNOW Tess deserves to be! Thanks again my brilliant brother.

Lots of love Monica

Well that saying is true in this case. We came home on Saturday to scraped and blistered toes. Dr Mitch is getting his prize fighter all ready for Saturday. Actually this morning my feet look in a bit of a sorry state. This WILL NOT stop me from going on Saturday. We will be bandaging both feet up very heavily.

I am sending the videos 1 at a time today

Love Tessy
