    Backyard Blitz - Ep 9 Our Little Hero 8 August Our Little Hero The brave story of three year old Sophie Delezio has captured the hearts of the nation. Just before Christmas last year, a car crashed through the front of a childcare centre in suburban Sydney and burst into flames. Sophie was caught underneath the car and suffered the worst injuries of all the young victims of this terrible tragedy. Sophie has undergone more than 6 months of extensive operations and has many more years to go. The Backyard Blitz team wanted to show their support for Sophie and her family by building a garden to suit her new needs. Backyard Blitz also recognises the extraordinary work that the staff of The Children’s Hospital at Westmead has done for Sophie and thousands like her, by giving corporate and public Australia the opportunity to donate to paediatric burns units around the country.

The sizzle of trawler-fresh seafood on the hotplate and the sizzle of the sale, for at last someone has realised that people buy boats for lifestyle, not strictly performance.
