Adult Volunteer of the Year – Tracy Lucas
The Chairperson of Riding for the Disabled Association (NSW), Tracy gives her time as a senior volunteer coach with the Mudgee Riding for the Disabled Association, where she helps to prepare and supervise weekly lessons for the centre’s 32 riders.
Her tireless efforts go towards ensuring that riders can achieve their goals, while building friendships and connections with other riders and volunteers.
And the Gold Medal goes to RDA (NSW)! Just letting everyone know we are now a Gold Medal Good Sports organisation.
