“It was in July 2004 that Perry was kind enough to share his brave story with the Australian Cricket Team. I can talk on behalf of my team mates when I saw what a remarkable young man he is, and that his positive outlook on life is really an example to us all. Perry’s principles of knowledge, courage and faith have not only helped him through his daily challenges, but also touched the lives of many people he has addressed. He is truly inspirational.”
