The senior students at Berwick Grammar School were privileged to have Zach Merrett from the Essendon Football Club speak to them recently.
Zach was selected with pick 26 in the 2013 AFL National Draft and debuted for the Bombers in the opening round of the 2014 season.
In recent times Zach has been trying to raise awareness for greater research and understanding of multiple sclerosis and has witnessed first-hand the impact of the condition.
He shared his message of hard work, determination and resilience with the boys, giving open and honest responses to questions ranging from family, schooling and football at the Thursday 1 June event.
