Jim Stynes – Awarding Inspiration
Today's headlines
An inspiration to all, Melbourne Football Club President Jim Stynes has been fittingly named by The Australian newspaper as one of the candidates for the honour of being named its ‘Australian of the Year’ for 2009. With your supporting nominations, he can be named as a truly great winner of this prestigious public award.
Recognised internationally for his sporting feats and community contributions, Stynes’ battle with cancer over the last year, accompanied by his ongoing dedication to the Club and wider society, make him a worthy nominee. We encourage all members, supporters and those who have gained inspiration from Stynes to get behind his nomination, and show that he is, without doubt, worthy of the honour of ‘Australian of the Year’.
