1. Who are you?

My name is Tegan Linwood and I am 27 years old. I’m a Millmerran local who lives and breathes sport. I live by myself with my two fur babies, Boots 3 and Storm 9months. I love to be able to help out friends and family as well as some foundations that are close to my heart including Soldier On and the Breast Cancer Foundation.

When committing to something I put my mind to it and give it everything I’ve got, including work and sporting commitments, especially since I’m a pretty competitive person.

Most people will say that I can be a bit of a smart arse and I am happy to make a joke even if it’s at my expense.

2. What is your biggest Passion?

FOOD!!!!!

On a serious note I am very passionate about the Soldier On foundation. I feel very privileged to have been asked by my basher brother, Dice, to come on board to help in organizing the 20km Anzac Day Midnight to Dawn Service Hike. After seeing the attendance grow and the passion that everyone shows still blows me away. Seeing it grow every year is something that I’m so proud of and hope to watch it continue to grow in the years to come.

3. What are the BIG moments of your life? The ones that have shaped your life to where it is today?

I have had lots of defining moments throughout my life but one of the hardest times I have gone through was losing my Grandma 3 years ago. Most people when asked who their role models are will list off famous people or sports stars. For me that’s not the case, my Grandma wasn’t just my family but someone who I looked up to and had the utmost respect for. When I lost her I made a promise to myself to try and emulate the way that she lived her life. Anyone that knew her knew just how amazing she was and if I can become half the person that she was, I think she and the rest of my family would be proud.

4. Book Recommendation?

I don’t really have a book recommendation so I’m going to recommend the Mighty Duck movies!

5. What is your Lighthouse Message?

Life is all about Action and Reaction, the two go together.

You will be faced with many different obstacles throughout your wonderful life.

The important thing to remember is that you are free to make your choice whatever they may be, but remember you are not free from the consequences that your choice may have.

So be mindful, not every decision you make will be the right one. That is life, learn from them and grow and be the best version of you that you can possibly be.

 

 

WOW, thank you so very much Tegan, my fellow basher brother. You are well known around our little town for being possibly the most helpful person ever so I know that your Grandma would be incredibly proud of the person that you are. Much love for the beautiful message.
