The 2009 winner is Sue LegateSue and her IV partner Daniel have been matched for over 5 years. During that time, Sue has shown complete commitment to her relationship with Daniel and helped him through many difficult times in his life and continues to be there for him as he prepares to go to college in September. Daniel initially found it very hard to open up to people but through Sue's warmth, unconditional support and unwavering devotion paired with honesty, firm boundaries and great rapport has helped their relationship grow from an IV partnership into a strong and intimate friendship. In the course of the match Sue has shown herself to be extremely dedicated and imaginative. Sue has even invited Daniel into her family, securing social work permission to invite Daniel to a family barbeque and even involving Daniel and his carers to take part in her wedding. Email: |
