Whatever the result and however AJ Brimson fares in his return to the Origin arena, the Maroons fullback knows he'll be filled with the positivity of his close mate Liam Hampson.
“He was one subject away from completing his teaching degree and while he was studying to be a teacher, he was playing QRL for the Dolphins, but before that, for Tweed.
“He was such a source of inspiration and support and what we want to do is encourage young people to be able to persevere and overcome their challenges, so with the foundation, we're starting with providing scholarships to Keebra Park and Redcliffe High. “As part of the scholarship, there will be a mentorship program… we're going to fully train the mentors and they'll have a full program that they stick to and check in with their mentee as well so they have got structured support.”
