Live the Dream, presented by Decmil, is a once in a lifetime opportunity for 16 young Australians to become immersed in the culture of the Fremantle Dockers Football Club and ‘live the life’ of an AFL player for five days.

Live the Dream offers participants a rare opportunity to develop skills and behaviours, which can deliver long-term benefits to the individual and their local community.

The program will include a tour of Fremantle headquarters and Domain Stadium, a survival base camp in Chidlow, a ropes course at Point Walter Recreation Camp in Bicton as well as leadership and health and well being training sessions.

The Live the Dream program commences on Friday 3 July with Fremantle players Michael Walters, Tommy Sheridan, Hayden Crozier, Nick Suban, Chris Mayne, Michael Johnson, Danyle Pearce and Zac Clarke as the participant mentors.

Meet 16-year-old Kenneth Bedford-Hills from Halls Creek
 
Kenneth is currently in year 10 at Halls Creek District High School.
 
He plays for his school team, the Cowboys and has competed in the Kimberley Cup.
 
Kenneth believes the program will help him become a better leader for his community and he would like to be a role model for his younger peers.
 
One of Kenneth’s younger cousins suicided last year, so he is now on a mission to give his family hope and show others that there is another way to work through their problems.
 
Kenneth’s teacher, Michael Lay, described him as one of the ‘shining stars’ of the Clontarf Academy in Halls Creek.
 
“His attendance is fantastic, he is one of the most respectful students and is an evolving leader,” Michael said.
 
“The Live the Dream program is the perfect environment for him to further develop his leadership skills both on and off the footy field.”
