| Owen and Scott Cam |
Well, our Make-A-Wish connection and all round good bloke, Hugh, made some phone calls and surprised Owen with an opportunity to meet Scott Cam. The famous builder who Owen has been a fan of since "Backyard Blitz". It was possibly going to be a handshake, a photo and a pat on the head and then he would be gone. So, we went expecting just that. We turned up at "The Block" at 8am because we knew that he was going to be doing a live cross to a morning news program.

As we walked up to the house, Scott Cam walked around the corner with Polly and Waz, and Rod and Tania...... How cool was that...! There were no crowds, despite all the hype about the show, and we stood with them while they prepared for the cross, and just chatted. Owen gave Scott a funny picture that we took showing Owen nail gunning a picture to our fridge and then showed him his beads. He was stunned as were the others by this snapshot of Owen's journey. It was a calm, relaxed and wonderful atmosphere and we walked away after 45 minutes in the greatest of spirits. Another round of thank yous to Hugh, Sarah (Channel 9), P & W, R & T, and of course Scott, who was generous in his praise, time and genuine interest. The journey is now complete for Owen. Jason Hodges and Scott Cam.... There is no-one left that he wants to meet.. Un-believable.. He has met so many great and genuine people in the past year, all organised by wonderful friends, charities and supporters that have wanted to make a difference in his life. And Owen has cherished and appreciated every one of these opportunities.
To finish off... Jason Hodges emailed him this week to ask him how he was going after meeting him a year ago... And Polly and Waz won "The Block"... And Make-A-Wish called him to tell him that his wish has been granted.. What a most amazing few weeks he/we have had..
