I have enjoyed playing cricket all my life and have travelled to many countries to play, including Mexico, Cuba, West Indies, Iceland. USA, Canada, New Zealand, Scotland, Ireland and England, and represented Australia in the Over 70s Tour of England.

The best and most fulfilling Rotary project that I have been associated with has been Dream Cricket . A day spent with the children, carers, and family members along with Rotarians and other community volunteers is wonderfully inspiring. My role as President has enabled me to meet with like-minded people throughout Australia who are dedicated to implementing the DC program so that all special needs children have the opportunity to enjoy the activities.

As a Rotarian and proud member of the Board of Dream Cricket Australia, I have personally witnessed the wonderful moments that DC has provided people with other abilities in both Australia and Nepal. The beautiful expressions and sounds of delight once these people can succeed at cricket, is truly awesome

Muray has run clinics and gala days for people special needs students in all Orange district primary schools continuously since 2012 apart from the COVID years in 2020 and 2021. The students have developed new skills and improved their self esteem as a result of these activities. Many have described the gala day as “the best day of the year”. This a rewarding activity for all involved and highly recommended.
