And the essence of everything that is decent and good about humanity.

Adam Drake, the founder and CEO of support, help and training organisation ‘Balanced Choice’ (BC) in every essence, is closer to being a hero than any other person I know.

Mr Drake spends his life in looking to uplift and elevate othes throyght phychical, mental spiritual and moral enhancement. He lives the life he advocates in his mission to those with whom he associates.

He is a tireless advocate running or being involved in countless workshops for those of all ages and no matter where they are located across the Northern Territory.

He has been nominated for the honour of Northern Territorian of the year for 2025 and I hope he is so acclaimed.
