Is It A Bird, Is It A Plane....No, It's Super Helga!
Is It A Bird, Is It A Plane....No, It's Super Helga!An old and dear friend of mine is Leanne Stevens.
Leanne, whose nickname is Helga, is a highly qualified paramedic here in Australia and has the rather risky habit of jumping out of perfectly operational helicopters attached by just a thin wire to help those in trouble, racing to the aid of the injured and giving, giving, giving to her community.(And when your life is on the line it's Leanne you want descending from that chopper.)
And a nicer and more caring soul you'll not meet.
On Australia Day this year it was announced that Leanne was to be the recipient of the prestigious Ambulance Service Medal.
The Award was recently presented by the Governor of Queensland, Ms Quentin Bryce AC at a ceremony at Government House.
Congratulations Leanne
All hail Leanne Stevens ASM!
"Look! Up in the sky, it's Super Helga!"
And the picture above is the wonderful gift Leanne's partner (Steve) gave her in recognition of her special day.
It's been drawn by the immensely talented Phil Spratt of www.sprattiart.com - check Phil's web site out for fantastic caricatures.
Congratulations again Leanne. You're a champ.
