As Collingwood's Nick Daicos made Brownlow history, he shared his time in the spotlight with someone special — six-year-old cancer patient Logan.
Six-year-old Logan, diagnosed with the rare childhood cancer neuroblastoma at just one year old, celebrated alongside his close friend Nick Daicos as the latter claimed the historic Brownlow Medal. The Collingwood player, 23, made sure to share the spotlight with his young pal during the award ceremony, making sure Logan was aware of his achievement.
Following his historic win, Daicos spoke about the impact he hopes his platform can have on others like Logan. Logan, who was thrilled to watch Daicos claim the award, expressed his happiness and excitement about the moment. His father, Shane Goldfinch, explained how the two formed a close bond through Logan's Make-A-Wish experience, with Daicos reaching out to the organization on their behalf.
Despite battling cancer, Logan remains a happy kid, always brightened by video messages from Daicos. Daicos signed a newspaper for Logan, marking his first signature as a Brownlow Medallist, and expressed his gratitude for the special connection they share.
