In Melbourne, Australia, Collingwood player Nick Daicos celebrated his Brownlow Medal win by acknowledging six-year-old Logan, a patient battling neuroblastoma.
Daicos and Logan became friends through the Make-A-Wish foundation, and Daicos continued the connection independently of the program. He invited Logan to participate in a special moment at his 100th game, running through the banner alongside him. Daicos received a record-breaking 47 votes to win the prestigious AFL award.
During the ceremony, he spoke about Logan and the impact he hoped to have on young people facing serious illness. Logan and his father, Shane Goldfinch, watched the event and Logan expressed his pride in Daicos’s achievement. The Goldfinch family prioritises attending Collingwood games whenever Logan’s treatment allows, and they value the genuine connection between Logan and the footballer.
Daicos sends Logan video messages and signed a newspaper as a keepsake from the Brownlow ceremony, recognising the mutual support they provide each other.
