Simon’s Ambulance Wish was to have a pie and beer with his mates at the Adelaide Oval

On the 7th May 2024, Simon’s Ambulance Wish was fulfilled at the Adelaide Oval. Simon traveled to the Adelaide Oval in our Wish Ambulance where he met his sister, brother-in-law, nephews and friends. They all enjoyed a pie and a beer in the beautiful autumn sunshine.

While his mates enjoyed a kick of the footy on the Oval, Simon took a moment to feel the Adelaide Oval grass on his feet and smiled as his saw a message on the old score board which read “Welcome Back Simon”.

Thank you to our wonderful Ambulance Wish team: Susan, Shyla, Sue, Donna, Mark, Nick, Chloe, Jen, Jason, Phil, Kristy and Heidi for fulfilling this special wish and our photographer Russell for creating memories that last forever.

Thank you to our palliative care service partner Northern Adelaide Local Health Network palliative care team and the support of the Adelaide Oval for creating such a wonderful wish location.
