Thursday, April 1, 2010 To Whom it May Concern:

Recently, the Touched by Olivia Foundation opened our first outdoor, all abilities playground "Livvi's Place" at the 3 rd annual Family Fun Fair. From previous years support from the community, we are proud to have built the attendance to over 15,000 people.

Westsyde Connection launched their The Right Push skateboard clinics on the day, to fantastic feedback from local parents. We were impressed by their team, who set up a large scale, flat course with some obstacles in a fairly short time. They then took the children under their wing. Plenty of smiles on faces as they learnt a trick or stood steady on the board! The Westsyde Connection team arranged the clinic at no cost to our Foundation, and were extremely professional and courteous in all their dealings throughout the day. It was a pleasure to have them part of the day's events.

I would not hesitate to recommend The Right Push to any organisation or parent. Yours sincerely, Justine Perkins Founding Director
