Les Twentyman's remarkable story

Posted by: 3AW Afternoons | 22 June, 2009 - 2:29 PM

ABOVE: Les Twentyman very nearly died as a result of complications relating to lap-band surgery.

In his first studio interview since the news shocked Melbourne, Twentyman talks about how the experience has affected him and whether his focus on the plight of those less fortunate has wavered.

A great interview - which includes 'Father Bob' calling in.

Leave a message of support for Les below.

  • Thanks Les for being an inspiration to people like me who work with kids at risk but know the rewards we get from working with young people. You are amazing and others like me in thevteaching and community fields can only aspire to your level of caring and motivation.
    I am so glad to see u on the tv appearing so well after such a shocking health struggle. Congratulations on being a fabulous Australian with the real Australian culture of always giving and putting others first! You are the best role model thanks again!!! Sonia teacher/community worker

  • earlier this year my 20yr old son was set upon and murdered by a group of thugs. as my 16 yr old son wtnessed this we believe he has fallen through the cracks in our dudicial system and has had no real support and has become despondant. we would appreciate you passing this on to Les Twentymen as he may be able to give us some advice or assistance on how to deal with this.
    we already lost one son phsically and we are on scared of losing another mentally we are desrerate He can contact either by my email address or by phone to Phillip Nunan 0425784218

  • Thanks for caring about the young people living in horrendous conditions at home and on the streets.
    If only parents could all be nice caring people it would make your job much easier but unfortunately there a far too many unfit to be parents around and I dont think it is getting any better out there ! Look after yourself we all admire and respect you.
