Picture of the Month
Every month we receive so many amazing pictures of people showing their support of DT38 but we have to narrow it down to one, to crown our “Picture of the Month”.
So, this month we’ve gone for this image of Fox Sports football commentator Simon Hill.
Just look at DT38 Ambassador Simon ‘flaying the flag’ for our charity at the Perth Glory v Adelaide United A League semi final and he was on the microphone that day too. What a legend!
