"My beautiful Partner Peta and I have 3 children, our gorgeous Daughter Ava (2 years), Archie (9 months) and our treasured Son Oscar. Peta and I tragically lost our precious little boy Oscar 10 days prior to his first birthday in 2006. He contracted a virus that has still not been identified. My involvement in the 1200kmsforkids is to remember and celebrate Oscars life, to raise money in an effort to help other sick kids and to also try and raise awareness of paediatric health issues with a focus on virus research. Our aim is for more families to experience positive outcomes when their children are faced with health problems."
