Yesterday morning, we checked out of the Australian team hotel, and made our way to the site of the 15th Maccabiah Bridge Tragedy.
We travelled with Josh Small as part of our team, and met up with his Mum, Suzanne and his sister, Rebecca. Their husband and father, Greg Small, was one of my team-mates in 1997 and his life was cut short by the terrible bridge collapse.
A moving service was held to remember the four team-mates who lost their lives in 1997 - Greg Small, Yetty Bennett, Elizabeth Sawicki & Warren Zines.
Josh made a wonderful speech, remembering Greg and vowing to continue his dream of competing at this year's Maccabiah Games.
