Simon Molesworth wins Tattersall’s Award for work in CFS
April 10, 2006
Simon R. Molesworth (right), President of both the National Association of ME/CFS and
ME/CFS Australia (Victoria) , has been given the Tattersall’s Award For Enterprise & Achievement.
Below is a note from Simon to members of the Committee of CFS/ME Victoria:
Dear fellow committee members,
I am both pleased and honoured to advise that today [April 6, 2006] I have been advised by Tattersalls that I have been chosen to receive this month’s Award for Enterprise and Achievement in recognition of my voluntary work in the CFS/ME area starting with my family’s struggle to assist our son Lachlan. Information regarding the Award is set out below. I have, of course, nominated the Society to receive the $15,000 prize money. Having visited the Tattersall’s website and read about some of the previous winners I am humbled to be amongst such company of incredibly deserving people.
Apart from the Society receiving a significant boost in the immediate future from the $15,000 prize money, the Award is associated with much publicity with many media opportunities, involving nationwide print media, radio and television in addition to longterm website links setting out my story. There will be a number of media events, not the least being a huge lunch for many, many hundreds on the 3rd August in the Melbourne Grand Hyatt ballroom. At that filmed event in front of hundreds of dignitaries, the stories through video of each of the 12 monthly winners will be presented, at which time they will then announce the annual winner. Although I am unlikely to be considered more deserving than many of the wonderful people who have won over the course of the last year, I am in there with a chance in which case the Society could again benefit, but this time from a far greater grant from Tattersalls.
I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge with my warmest appreciation the initiative of Jarrod McDonald, our Society’s Immediate Past Treasurer, in nominating me – as that act has now provided the Society with critically needed funds and the opportunity to benefit from nationwide publicity for the CFS/ME cause that we could never dream of affording. I also express my heartfelt thanks to all those who were referees in support of Jarrod’s nomination of me.
Kind regards to all,
Simon
