Backflips Against Bullying was born – a school program combining acrobatics to engage students alongside practical anti bullying tactics. Beginning in New South wales, it’s now expanding to schools across Queensland and Victoria. and hopefully soon, every state in Australia.

This chat with Samwise was very special for me, it actually brings me to tears every time I think of some of the things he shared. He's a beacon of strength, resilience and ultimately, forgiveness and he's saving lives.
