and began the journey in 2015 after watching his only child and beloved son Shaun

Shaun was a double Heart Transplant recipient and became a hero to the Cardiac Kid's
when he embraced CHD Heart Ambassador of the Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne Australia

His task was education and awareness for the important research required
to find the baffling cure and end the struggles that all the Children were facing

who had just been diagnosed with CHD waiting for a Transplant
or about to experience a life changing Heart Transplantation.

for all the children who have lost their battle and fight the battle every day.

At 20 he was working on the the fringes of the film industry
