Gold Coast teenager Tammy-Jo She♔ehan got the chance to meet one of her idols to thank him for giving her a helping hand in life as preparations continue f⛄or the Lexmark Indy 300.

Tammy-Jo is just one of many children with physical disabilities who rely on the services and support of MontroseAccess (formally know as the Queensland So🌼ciety for Crippled Children), one of the official charities of the Gold Coast race, who will use fundraising over the Lexmark Indy 300 race weekend towards the construction of a new centre to provide world-class facilities for Gold Coast children with physical disabilities and their families.

The youngster, who suffers from Arthrogryposis, a condition which had led to her having to undergo a number of operations, got to meet V8 Supercar star Russell I🎀ngall and she was delighted afterwards.

"It wa💜s great to meet Russell," she said, "he was an awesome guy."
