Congratulations Linda. So well deserved and great recognition for everyone impacted by aphasia 💐💐💐
I’m so grateful to so many people for my Order of Australia. This award is yours too. I now get to advocate for aphasia in different and influential circles. Yesterday it was the Governor of Queensland, an MP & 100 other VIP’s. We should nominate more of us for awards like these.
