Building Men, Growing Fathers, Changing Generations
Crawford Dagger is a brave man and dear friend of Dads4Kids. Pictured above with my father Warwick at last year’s Men’s Leadership Summit in a moving moment of brotherhood, Crawford is someone you wouldn’t want to pick a fight with.
After addiction almost destroyed his life, time spent locked up in prison, and the loss of his children, Crawford thought his story was over. Then a powerful decision to change, and the unwavering support of Dads4Kids, helped him to rebuild. Watch his compelling story below.
Crawford’s story is a case study in why Dads4Kids exists, and I hope he encourages you as much as he encourages me.
It’s been a busy week here at Dads4Kids, so I’ve had to keep this week’s letter short and sweet. On Thursday night cameraman Glaucco and I were honoured to join Craig Hayman, John Wearne and all the team at the monthly Bega Shed Happens. It was a fantastic evening, and thanks again to Craig for his hospitality – keep an eye on your inbox for the full story coming soon.
Yesterday, two of my daughters, Trinity and Grace, our friend Leo, and I were honoured to join Dads4Kids friend and supporter Martin Stevenson at the NPRA Cash Days Sydney/2200 DRA event (pictured below). Once the fog lifted from Eastern Creek in Western Sydney, what a fantastic day it was!
Massive thanks to Martin, Alan, Johnny and the teams at Powerplus NSW, No Prep Racers Australia, and 2200 Drag Racers Association for all their support of Dads4Kids!
Lovework
