## Resource

In a heartwarming gesture, Thomas Cockburn, a 28-year-old rugby player diagnosed with MND just three games shy of his 100th match, received his long-awaited 100-game blazer from the Springston Rugby Club. The club honored his unwavering dedication despite his illness, and Cockburn, touched by the gesture, expressed deep gratitude. His journey since diagnosis — from seeking help for pain to adapting his home and planning a European honeymoon — reflects resilience. The moment, described as emotional by teammates, underscores the power of community and the enduring spirit of sport beyond the field.
