Finally, a nomination worthy of the title

Instead of the usual mutual admiration awards for "I am so good for you, pick me's", dime-a-dozen sporting dross along with other nobodies like politicians and feral unionists ever looking for the limelight, this is one New Zealander we would do well to emulate.

I readily admit know I could never do what she did in the face of tragic adversity. I would be looking for my pound of flesh and more. I really admire her for her inner strength.

Nominated for New Zealander of the Year, Emma Woods. Well done.
