off topic. Carlton football Club contacts for dying Aboriginal elder

Morning all Some of you may remember my writing over the years about my Aboriginal relatives – Rev. P. Nganjmirra and his wife, Stephanie Thompson, a Larrakia elder – I helped them start a little tourism project (the Baby Dreaming Project) in western Arnhem Land. They recognised the importance of birdwatching, and with other elders throughout the area decided to set aside their best hunting billabong for birders. Rev. Nganjmirra died a few years ago. But by then we knew that the writing was on the wall for Stephanie – she has the neurodegenerative Machado-Joseph disease. Stephanie is in the final stages of the disease, and her last wish is to see Carlton play in Melbourne. She will be coming down with her sister, Una, and two carers. Does anyone on this list have any Carlton contacts? It would be simply wonderful if she could meet with some of her heroes.
