Terrific Tuesday had a very special visitor in July when John Carpenter, the Chairperson from Radio Lollipop Manchester showed up the night before the State of Origin final. We had lots of fun visiting the wards and finding kids to explain how to play AFL (because Ceara couldn’t really help much there!) and the importance of the State of Origin final and Darren Lockyer’s last game as a Maroon. We were having a music and pop stars night so we had plenty of time to chat while we did word searches and made tambourines. John and I got the run down from lots of different perspectives and by the end of the night John knew all about Toads and Cockroaches and Mate versus Mate and most importantly … not to wear blue in Queensland the following day!

Thank you for visiting, John. It was a real treat to have a Radio Lollipop Volunteer from the other side of the world for a night. It was a great way to remember that Radio Lollipop makes people smile all over the world 🙂
