I saw this article in the SMH last week: http://www.smh.com.au/news/health/tv-gladiator-living-with-a-deadly-disease/2008/04/19/1208025548875.html
I worked with Derek two years ago as we entertained in the corporate suites of Orrcon at V8 races around Australia. He is a lovely guy and I am thrilled that he is the face of the TV show Gladiators. He is also a very good speaker and he has spoken about his battle with Diabetes.

I will be performing a show at the Diabetes Australia gala dinner “The Buzz Ball” at the Parkside Ballroom, Sydney Convention Centre. 26 July 2008. Tickets are $185. I am told that it is a masquerade themed night so it should be alot of fun. For further information, see http://www.diabetesnsw.com.au/homepage.asp
