The 2012 Australia Day Ambassador for Alice Springs is inspirational speaker Michael Crossland. He will attend both functions. He is an extraordinary young man who has defied the odds of a life-threatening cancer to build a career of exceptional achievements. An accomplished businessman and an elite sportsman, his life is a remarkable success. Mr Crossland is at the forefront of todays new generation of inspirational speakers. He speaks to businesses, schools/colleges and sporting groups around the world. To date, his total audience numbers in Australia and internationally exceed 100,000. He spoke in Alice Springs in November and was asked back to be an Ambassador. Diagnosed with aggressive life-threatening cancer before his first birthday, doctors told him school and sport were not options. Infection and fatigue were too great a risk. His only wish was to lead a normal life and be able to do all the things that other normal kids took for granted every day. Now an accomplished busi nessman, Australian of the Year finalist, Australia Day Ambassador and International Hall of Fame Inductee, Mr Crossland inspires many people from all walks of life, with his story and inspiration of believing in yourself and achieving seemingly impossible dreams. He said: Success to me is about waking up each and every day and knowing in your heart that today you will make a difference in someone elses life. By living this way, we can all make the world a better place. Tennant Crees events include a breakfast and fun and games at Lake Mary Ann. This year communities across the Barkly Shire will be celebrating with sausage sizzles, awards, discos and sporting events. Yularas celebrations include a cricket match on the oval as well as a barbecue, entertainment and childrens games. Australia Day Ambassador Ron Delezio will attend.
