MARAYKE WON!!!!!!
Thank you so much to all of you who voted for Marayke in the Cosmopolitan Competition for the Fun Fearless Female award for 2007.
From a field of exceptionally inspiring young women Marayke emerged as the national winner and boy was she excited!!! A gala presentation ceremony was held at Watsons Bay in Sydney where she shared a movie star like existence for 2 nights with all the girls at the Sydney Sheraton, groomed by personal stylists and wardrobe people. Marayke's long locks were softly curled by a stylist whose next appointment was with Jennifer Hawkins! ( Miss Universe) She appeared on the front page of the Sunshine Coast Daily with Kerry-Anne Kennerley as well as in papers in Sydney and Melbourne. The highlight for Marayke was definately sitting next to and chatting with Delta Goodrem over lunch!
Getting home was made difficult by tight security lockdowns in Sydney because of the APEC summit and then stormy weather on the Sunshine Coast prevented a landing at Maroochy airport and a diversion to Brisbane. Marayke was finally chauffeur driven home compliments of Jetstar to an excited family homecoming and more radio interviews.
Marayke will use the $10,000 prize money to establish
SPORTING DREAMS a charity trust to assist disabled athletes pursue their dreams.
