Roberto helps the Cats

21 June 2010

Life has never been quite so exciting for Roberto Natoli now that he gets down on the ground each week with his one and only favourite footy team – the Cats.

Roberto is part of Karingal’s 'Getting The Life You Want' project, which sees the dedicated Cat’s supporter at the club each week during training.

He gets to do what so many die-hard fans would love, meet the players and help with drills by setting out the coloured cones and collecting wayward balls.

Participate Project Officer Lee Considine said Roberto was enjoying the experience immensely.

“It's great to see the Geelong Football Club being a truly inclusive sporting organisation,” he said.

“This weekly event has already become very important to Roberto as he gets to spend time with his beloved Cats!”

Lee said Roberto’s dream would not have come true without the help of Bob Gartland from Gartland Real Estate, Karingal’s Therese D'Helin and Geelong Football Club Assistant Manager Football Operations, Steve Hocking.

“These three people have worked together to make this happen for Roberto, it's much appreciated,” Lee said.
