ÒSupport for girls and women in sport is growing, itÕs a really exciting time for all female athletes across all sports,Ó said Maddie at the launch.

ÒThe choices for girls in whatever sport they choose to play is expanding, and thatÕs a great thing, especially for the health and well-being of girls throughout our community.Ó

ÒIÕm really proud to be an ambassador and to represent VicHealth and these important messages,Ó added Maddie.
