This traces back to his hard-working mother prevailing in difficult circumstances. The Christian Brothers provided support, taking Terry on at Parade College and then in the accountancy night school at St Joseph’s, North Melbourne.
In 1999, Terry formed a very successful organisation in the horse racing industry. Through an industry friend, he was introduced to the work of Edmund Rice Foundation and to the 500 Supporters’ Group MCG luncheons.
Learning of the great work being done, Terry has become a constant supporter and, through his racing industry networks has brought racing notables as speakers to 500 Supporters’ Group fundraising luncheons. Terry understands there is immense capacity to perform acts of good in this world. In his own words:
“What you give, you get.”
As we head towards the end of the financial year, your gift can help children learn, read and thrive.
In rural western Kenya, classrooms are overcrowded, teachers are untrained and under-supported, and children are leaving school unable to read, leaving them disadvantaged for life.
But, with your help, this can change.
With improved teacher training, better literacy support and safer classrooms, children can gain the foundational skills they need to succeed at school and beyond.
Your support this tax time will help train teachers, strengthen schools and help thousands of children learn to read with confidence.
