Welcome to The World of Wishes, the podcast from Make-A-Wish Southern Florida, where we share the inspired stories behind wishes and the passionate people who fuel our mission.

I'm your host, Richard Kelly.

Michelle has spent her career supporting children and families throughout some of the most challenging moments.

A very special thanks to Michelle for joining us.

And thank you for listening to this episode of World of Wishes produced by MakeWish Southern Florida.

I'm your host, Richard Kelly, with additional marketing support from the talented team of Gabby Patero, Amber Hadar, and Liv Mayrum.

Thank you for listening, sharing, and helping amplify the power of a wish.

Our high-performance staff is impressive, our trainers.

So from a club perspective, and then if I look off-field, Richard Kelly is outstanding to not only work for, but to be a leader of our footy club.

There's a lot of people that are doing things right at the moment, which makes a big difference at any club, which all three of you guys would certainly know.

So I think we've got some good people in some good positions and led by Richard and by Sheeds, we're in a good spot.

Everyone knows that if you've got a family, and especially a young family, it's a balancing act.

And again, that's been great at Nord.

Richard Kelly is fantastic.

I don't work five days a week at the club.

Mm.

Basically, Richard Kelly from, uh, B1K, he insures it, which is just an expense.

So-

Yeah

And it's been years since we had to have those, but, and then, and then mom crawling in on her hands and knees, trying to claw the kids back at you.

Remember anyway, That is Professor Richard Kelly, and his daughter's name is Marion, and I guess that's like 10 years ago, so she's, I don't know, teenager, mid-teen, pre-teen? I got no idea exactly how old she was then.

So, anyway, I think she's living that reputation down just fine.

Everybody respects her for her intrusion, but the march that she does in with the arms, sort of almost chicken-winning... winging and rocking back and forth.

But even worse, there was six of us who, who made it go away.

Frank, Fish Fontana, Herbert Love, Richard Kelly, Sammy Geiger, and me.

We tossed the sap in a ditch somewhere and booked it back home.

Didn't say a word through the whole thing.

So the same team of three.

Glenn Newman and Richard Kelly on the screens there.

So then, yes, we have test match.

We've got Japan and Fiji.
