#BeSallysGuest

Meet Tess – a young champion-in the-making, who has persevered through injury and disappointment to pursue her love of Track & Field. And it is clear her admiration of Sally Pearson has inspired her!

Tess and her lucky guardian will enjoy:

Two return flights form their home city of Melbourne
Two nights accommodation at the Star, Gold Coast
Two tickets to the 2018 Australian Athletics Championships & Nomination Trial at Carrara Stadium on Saturday, February 17 to watch Sally Pearsonâ€™s 100m hurdles final
Two tickets to the 2018 Australian Athletics Championships & Nomination Trial at Carrara Stadium for Sunday, February 18
Two tickets to the 2018 Athletics Australia Gala Dinner at The Star where Tess will walk the red carpet, meet, and be a guest of Sally Pearson joining her at her table for the evening

What a weekend! Enjoy Tess.
