Life. Be in it’ was appointed to manage the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the Special Olympics National Games, held at the Adelaide Dome. It was a special event and the program was designed to give athletes with an intellectual disability the “time of their lives” – and it did. However, this would not have been possible without the enthusiastic support of the compere – Graeme Goodings. His understanding and well spoken presentation throughout the show was one of the reasons the Opening Ceremony was declared the best ever! Life, Be in it
