My Kind Of Hero

I have admired this man for many years.  Not so much because of what hes done on the Rugby field  Ive never been into sports much although I do LOVE my walking as you know :)  I admire this man for being real and speaking up about an illness that for too long was taboo.  Depression.  I have recently finished his book All Blacks Dont Cry.  It was well worth getting :)

I love his attitude :)  He has become a Sir after being knighted :)  :)  :)
