Clifford Craig Foundation is once again hosting Launceston's International Women's Day Lunch.

Held at Country Club Tasmania on Tuesday, 4 March from 12pm, guests will be treated to a two-course meal with a drink on arrival.

Keynote speaker, Sam Bloom, is an inspiring sportswoman and mother with an extraordinary story to share.

She suffered a devastating accident while on holiday with her young family in Thailand and was left paralysed from the chest down.

Deeply depressed and faced with the possibility of never walking again, a chance encounter with an injured magpie chick, that the family dubbed “Penguin Bloom”, was to change her attitude, her recovery, and her life.

Now a four-time World Para Surfing champion, best-selling author, and the inspiration behind the #1 box-office hit movie Penguin Bloom starring Naomi Watts, she’s an incredible example of the extraordinary things we can all achieve in the face of adversity.
