The
4 TRACKS 4 KIDS Sydney Walk 2014 was held yesterday -
Monday 6th October.
In 2014, the event this year was known as
: A Walk 4 Nathan Supporting 4 Tracks 4 Kids
NATHAN BERRY
This year it was held in honour of a great young man and a
4 tracks 4 kids ambassador who was tragically lost to us earlier this year
-
Nathan Berry.
4Tracks4Kids is dedicated in helping the kids of
Australia through raising funds to help develop medicines and cures for
kid’s diseases, training medical personal and purchasing important
medical equipment.
This year the funds raised will be donated amongst the Sydney Children’s Hospital Network, which incorporates both T
he Children's Hospital at Westmead and the
Sydney Children’s Hospital, Randwick, as well as the
National Jockeys Trust and the
Epilepsy Action Australia in honour of Nathan.
We were delighted to be at Randwick on Monday to welcome in and applaud the huge turn out of inspiring people who walked the trip led by their inspiring mentor and Captain-Coach
RICHARD CALLANDER.
In 2014, the
DYNAMIC SYNDICATIONS TEAM chose to sponsor for the walk, our mate,
TVN presenter and all round top bloke
DEAN PETTIT who was doing the walk with a big team of other racing personalities alongside many mums and dads.
We felt it was important to be at the end of the journey to congratulate Dean Pettit for the wonderful job he did completing the trip and the excellent job of contributing pledges.
As the big group arrived at Randwick Richard Callander advised the crowd that donations had exceeded $461,000 and more was on the way.
DEAN PETTIT
Team DYNAMIC whole-heartedly endorsed
DEAN PETTIT as a worthy candidate to sponsor – He is a
legend at TVN and
(despite being a tragic West Tigers fanatic) he’s a fantastic person,
who was prepared to walk the trip to raise money for the sick kids.
A Quick Bio About DEAN PETTIT :
Dean Pettit has been involved in the racing industry for 20 years and has experience in many aspects of the game.
Dean started his jockey apprenticeship in 1992 and rode for 7 years
before the battle with weight got the better of him. As a jockey, he was
successful with many horses and trainers, including Guy Walter and John
Hawkes and his master, Bruce Cross.
Dean then became stable foreman for Kim Waugh at Rosehill, where he
gained immense experience in all aspects of horse and stable management
and was a major part of the success of Kim’s maiden Group One winner,
Mahtoum.
Dean has been with TVN for 5 years and has developed his skills in a
wide range of duties including producing, race day coordination and
on-air presentation. He also continues to develop his passion for race
calling, gaining experience at trials and both TAB and non-TAB meetings.
Dean is loving his new role on major racedays riding the pony to speak
with winning jockeys as they pull-up bring the theatre of winning
immediately into your TV set.
Well Done Dean ! Proud of your efforts !
