Peter Berbakov, High Performance Operations Manager - Sydney Swans for the array of truly wonderful things he has done for Cooper over past years. Peter together with the staff and players from the Swans consistently went out of their way to put the joy back in Cooper's life. Jordan Foote, deserves a special mention, taking the time to construct an inspirational email to Cooper in the early stages of his diagnosis, and following through by spending time with him on the sidelines after training.

Cooper's association with the Swans went back many years through his selection in Swans Academy. At a time when football clubs across many codes, together with their players, find themselves in the media, often for the wrong reasons, The Swans, without cameras and journalists, effectively brought something so very special to a young sport mad boy's life, when he so desperately needed a lifeline. Thank you really does not seem adequate to Peter and all at Sydney Swans.

Our heartfelt gratitude to Dr Richard Malpass, Headmaster Sydney Grammar School, Dr John Valance (former Headmaster), Mr Phillip Barr – former Master of the Lower School, Mr Jason Slater, Housemaster, Mr Tom Watkins, Senior Housemaster, staff and students.
