I Don't Know How She Does It

When Amna Karra-Hassan looked at the sporting events in her local community, she noticed there were no women.

She decided that needed to change. So she created the Auburn Tigers.

Amna is a player, coach, public speaker, an employee of the Australian Federal Police and she sits on the board of the Council for Australian Arab Relations and a not-for-profit women's health initiative called Go Active.

So, how does she do it?

Imagine being a 17 year old girl, friendly, happy and doing well at school and suddenly you’re told you’ve got 3 months to live.

That’s what happened to Maddy Ritchie when she was diagnosed with a rare childhood cancer that resulted in an 18 cm tumor in her pelvis.

After 12 months of grueling chemotherapy, Maddy is now in her early 20s and two years cancer free.

To give back she volunteers for charities that help families in the same situation she was in.

So, how does she do it?

When Maddi O’Gradey was 12 she went on a school trip to Parliament house and noticed something… all the pictures on the walls were of men.

From that moment on, she decided she wanted to do something to change that.
With a passion for mental health Maddi started a business called ‘High Tide’ to encourage students to talk about mental health issues and feel comfortable asking for help.

And this year Maddi was the first Australian to win the Dalai Lama peace fellowship for her work.

So, how does she do it?

Alyssa Azar was an adventurous kid. So adventurous she conquered the Kokoda trail with her Dad when she was just 8 years old.

But that was only the start.

After Kokoda, Alyssa moved on to mountains, climbing Mt Kilimanjaro, the ten highest peaks in Australia, and then the highest peak in the world... Mount Everest.

Alyssa made her first successful summit of Everest when she was just 19 years old, becoming the youngest Australian to do so. Then she decided to climb it again.
