Channelling Great Dreams

Gerrard Gosens OAM, a celebrated former Australian Paralympian, is gearing up for an extraordinary feat that will inspire generations to come.

Gerrard Gosens has been an unwavering advocate for Great Dreams since the program’s inception, serving as an inspiring mentor to our vision-impaired scholarship recipients. In 2024, he set out to make history as the first totally blind person to conquer the iconic English Channel. While Mother Nature had other plans and the challenge wasn’t completed—this time—Gerrard’s journey is far from over.

With an unstoppable spirit, he’s already planning more extraordinary feats in 2025. An incredible athlete and role model, Gerrard embodies the essential qualities needed to achieve great dreams—determination, passion, courage, and ambition. His journey continues, proving that no challenge is too great when driven by perseverance.

Glenn Vassallo, Managing Director of GRT Lawyers, the firm that established the GRT Foundation, is a proud advocate of Gerrard and his commitment to the Great Dreams Program.

“We're extremely fortunate to have Gerrard's support, along with the financial backing of GRT Lawyers and our valued sponsors. And, of course, our army of volunteers who work tirelessly in the community to raise funds and provide kids with educational scholarships and mentorship.”

“We're passionate about turning kids Great Dreams into Reality, and Gerrard's incredible swimming challenge could not be a better of example of how you actually live your own Great Dreams.”
