Radio host will go for gold

03 Feb, 2010 08:30 AM
COREY Harvey from Mount Annan may have just found his biggest fan.

Last week former Big Brother presenter Mike Goldman dropped in for a swim in Corey's pool to help raise awareness for Cystic Fibrosis.

Corey, 4, was born with the genetic lung condition and will lead ``Team Corey'' in this Saturday's 65km Swim.

Goldman said he had a great time at Corey's house and thought he was one ``very cool kid''.

``He showed me his Spiderman room, his Millennium Falcon, his guitar and his coloured fan,'' he said. ``We mucked around in the pool and his mum brought us drinks.''

Goldman who has recently joined local radio station C91.3FM to host its drive program will swim 100 laps on Saturday.

``If we can do anything to raise some money to find a cure or make Corey and his parents' life easier that's the least we can do,'' he said.

Corey's mum Melissa Harvey said Corey had a lot of fun with Mike and didn't want to get out of the pool. ``We know there's going to be a cure one day,'' she said. ``But we also know what little time we've got. The swim's not only about raising money for a cure but also to raise awareness.

``It's heart-breaking to know that no matter how hard we fight it will still get worse as time goes on.''
