“The loss of my teammate and friend Adam Fry was tragic,” Tuggeranong United legend Jacob Padrotta recalled. “He will always be sorely missed and never forgotten, but celebrating his life the way we do each year is something I’m most proud of as a member of the Tuggies family.
“It’s an annual highlight in the Football calendar to see the club come together to raise much needed awareness and funds to combat this horrible disease that affects so many people, followed by a quiet moment where we share a beer and a laugh remembering the good times we shared with Adam.”
