Wests Tigers cheerleader Kymberley Roebuck will present her Big League Cheergirl of the Year prize to the family of Lleyton Giles at the Sydney Football Stadium this Saturday night.
>
Like most Wests Tigers supporters, Kymberley was touched by the story of the brave five-year-old and the courage he has shown in his battle against a terminal liver condition.
>
Prior to the final being judged by the public, Kymberley decided to donate any prizes from the competition to the Giles family as her way of supporting Lleyton.
>
Kymberley will present the first prize of a $2000 voucher from GoDo.com.au prior to the NRL kick-off.
>
Go Do is a leisure/adventure website offering thousands of different activities such as whale watching, weekends away, helicopter rides and much more.
>
Last weekend, Lleyton and his father, Wes, were flown to the Gold Coast for the Titans match courtesy of the Wests Tigers where they stayed at the team hotel.
>
Wes and Lleyton enjoyed the opportunity of spending time with the players and coaching staff.
>
Inside the games room, Llyeton joined the players for a car racing game. Later Gareth Ellis won a Finding Nemo stuffed toy in a skills tester machine at his first attempt and handed it to his little friend.
>
The following morning, Lleyton and Wes enjoyed the rides and dolphins at Sea World after the wonderful team at Sea World provided them with VIP passes.
**Wests Tigers Captain Robbie Farah says the team has “adopted” Lleyton as one of their own.\
\
“He is such a great, bubbly kid and we love having him around the place,’’ Farah said.\
\
“Just seeing the smile on his face definitely inspires us.**
>
“For us to bring a smile to his face, they are the things that make you happy to be a footy player. To have little kids look up to you and to bring some happiness to them, you can’t ask for much more than that.”
>
Wes Giles said the generosity and warmth being shown by the Wests Tigers was not lost on his family.
>
“People are saying Lleyton is inspiring the team but he is drawing on their inspiration,’’ Wes said.
>
**“The other night, he had a pretty bad nose bleed and when I rushed in to see him, all he was worried about was whether it would stop him from going to Queensland to see the Tigers play.**
“He is a strong kid who just loves being around the players. Our family knows the Wests Tigers are very genuine in their love and care for Lleyton.”
>
Lleyton also had the opportunity to shake the players’ hands as they ran onto the field.
>
The beautiful little boy with the cheeky grin has now become a very big part of the Wests Tigers family.
Great Stuff Wests Tigers…
All the best Lleyton....tenacious little bloke
