From very humble beginnings, Susan Alberti AC became a very successful business woman, one of Australia's pre-eminent philanthropists especially as regards medical research in general and Type 1 diabetes in particular. She was finalist in the Australian of the Year...twice. Awarded as one of the most influential women in sport, she was Vice President of the men's Western Bulldogs AFL club and an integral element in the establishment of the elite AFL women's competition.

But the road to these successes and accolades was strewn with tragedy and great personal loss. Her real success, to me, was overcoming these things and continuing on to lead a very fulfilled life.......with one more goal to kick.
