Ms O’Sullivan received a grant of more than $1000 from the Fremantle RSL and Woodside to take part in the Leeuwin Ocean Adventure Foundation’s youth leadership and development program.

Fremantle RSL vice-president Rob Cashman said the program allowed young people with physical, sensory and intellectual issues to take part in a unique sailing adventure, with Ms O’Sullivan providing support, care and assistance on board the trip, which leaves Fremantle tomorrow.

Ms O’Sullivan said it was a stepping-stone to achieving her life goal.
