It's not often a person with a disability appears on commercial television. And it is certainly not often that a person's disability is overlooked and their skills showcased. I am so impressed his disability came second to his talent on MasterChef. John Hughes, who has cerebral palsy, recently won the admiration of Australia while competing on the popular reality TV show MasterChef. He was most famous for not plating up a dish because he wasn't proud of it, and then cooked the best crocodile Matt Preston has ever tasted!
I was super excited that Channel 10 read my article and tweeted the link, saying it was a great article. Getting read by those who matter!

Snap, great work!! Can't wait to read the article. I've missed a lot of Masterchef but was impressed with what I did see of John, his talent and attitude.

I LOVED John and was sad to see him go :( Congrats to you though on a brilliant article x
ReplyDeleteGo you! Clicking over to read it now :-)
ReplyDeleteI have absolutely no interest in Masterchef.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad John wasn't disqualified just because of a little disability though.
How exciting! Congrats of scoring the interview :)
ReplyDeleteAlways nice to hear about disabled people having success!
ReplyDeleteInspiring stuff indeed - I'm off to have a read. X
ReplyDeleteThis is a great article Carly! I was so disappointed that John was eliminated - he is so much more talented than some of the ones still in the competition! I hardly watch Masterchef now hehe.
