<div>Many of you know me through rugby league. I’ve been fortunate enough to play the game I love for the Broncos, Titans, Rabbitohs and Queensland. Rugby league has given me so much throughout my life, and I will always be grateful for the opportunities, friendships and memories the game has provided.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But before I am a footballer, I am a partner, a son, a mate and most importantly, a dad.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Recently, my life changed forever when I was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease (MND).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>No matter how many games you’ve played, how many tackles you’ve made or how many challenges you’ve faced on a football field, nothing prepares you for hearing those words.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Like many families facing MND, we have been thrown into a world filled with uncertainty, difficult decisions and challenges that we never imagined we would face.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But if there is one thing I have learned throughout my life, it is that you never stop fighting.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am determined to give myself every opportunity possible to live the best life I can, to explore treatments and therapies that may help, and to continue creating memories with the people I love most.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My biggest reason for fighting is my family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Especially my beautiful daughter, Ayla.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She is still so young, with her whole life ahead of her. Every day I wake up wanting to be the best dad I can be and to create as many special memories with her as possible. She is my motivation, my purpose and my reason to keep pushing forward.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Throughout my life and career, I have always tried to help others whenever I could. Whether it was through my clubs, charities, community organisations or simply giving my time to people who needed it, I have always believed that looking after others matters.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Today, I find myself in the unfamiliar position of needing support myself.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This fundraiser has been established to help me access treatments, therapies, specialist care, equipment, home modifications and the support that my family and I may need throughout this journey. It will also help create the best possible future for Ayla and ease some of the financial pressures that come with living with MND.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I know there are many people facing challenges of their own, and I never take for granted any support that is offered.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you are able to contribute, no matter the amount, my family and I will be incredibly grateful.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you cannot donate, sharing this page and helping spread awareness about MND would mean just as much.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for standing beside me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for standing beside my family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And thank you for helping me continue this fight. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With Gratitude
</div>
<div><br />
