“Many years ago I was a member of Surfers Paradise Surf Club. Out training on a rescue board one afternoon I spotted a pod of dolphins acting in a way I’d never seen before. They circled and cicled one dolphin and I thought that it may have been ill. They came right under my board. The one being circled came part way out of the water and there was a tiny tail sticking out – she was giving birth and being attended to by the sisterhood! A couple more circles and she came up, baby at her side, quick breath for them both and they and the sisters were gone. It was reported in the paper the next day and I got to speak to a visiting professor who was a dolphin expert, about my experience. What a truly special and GRAND moment!”

“My Grand Moment was when my co-worker and friend, emailed a certain radio station to try and help me out of a pickle. The radio station (You know who you are lol Hot Tomato) called and helped me get out of my pickle. I didnt have a lot of faith in humanity before this day, but do now. Thanks to a generous soul and a loving heart I am back on track for Christmas with my son and a dream wedding.”

“I recently shouted my partner a trip to New Zealand to surprise visit his two children.  As we drove into the town we spotted them on the side of the road, he jumped out and approached them. His 10 year old son wrapped his arms around him and his 12 year old daughter yelled out ‘Holy Shit.. Dad!!’  The moment was magic.”

“My Grand Moment is a little different because I’m Bridget a ten year old Boxer. The fact that I’ve even made it to ten is a grand achievement, but my Grand moment is waking up every day to enjoy life and give all my love to my mum and dad. My medical history is long, but to give you an idea at the age of three I had both cruciate ligaments in my back legs replaced. Several times I have come within minutes from dying while going into anaphylaxis shock, after being bitten from what I think was either a spider bite or bee sting, and if that wasn’t enough, I’ve had to have three eye operations because of a scratched cornea. Hence my vet knows me very well. However, despite my medical issues, I’m still a very healthy, happy and loving part of the family. Because I love swimming and water the most, my mum takes me to a pool twice a week to keep me fit and healthy, and mum and dad always take me fishing and camping at the beach.”

“Finally giving birth to two awesome, incredible sons after twelve long, heartbreaking years of fertility treatment and being told we had less than five per cent chance of ever having children. Achieving our dream TWICE! Can’t get much grander than that.”
