The response to the Alex McKinnon has been enormous and the NRL and the Newcastle community has gone above and beyond to assure him financial and emotional support. Its so great that he does not have to learn to stand alone. However there are many people out there who are not in the public eye that do have to do this alone and with minimal assistance. Its a damn shame it it takes an injury like his to bring to our attention how easy it is to lose your independence, your way of life, whether it be temporary or permanent. Hopefully one day we can all come together as a community to support as many people involved in similar situations.
