BE INSPIRED AT LUNCH WITH ONE OF OUR LIVING HEROES
Dr Richard ‘Harry’ Harris made headlines in 2018 when he was instrumental in the audacious rescue of a group of 12 Thailand boys and their soccer coach.
As a result of the successful rescue, he and fellow cave diver Craig Challen were the first joint recipients of the Australian of the Year award in (2019).
As well as being a leading Adelaide anaesthetist, Dr Harris works with a number of charitable organisations to provide opportunities to young people.
One of these is Operation Flinders, which helps at-risk youth to challenge themselves outdoors and enhance their self esteem, motivation, team work and responsibility.
This is a Showcase SA Platinum member event with an audience of executives, CEOs and senior decision-makers.
