My Awesome Australian: Online exhibition

Alexander The Great Volkanovski by Lewis (8-11 years, VIC)

Drawing
Alexander The Great Volkanovski
Alexander Volkanovski actively supports local Wollongong charities and initiatives, including Kids Wish and the Disability Trust. He also promotes causes like autism awareness, men's health, and domestic violence prevention, and has been a national COVID vaccine ambassador. Alexander Volkanovski is known for his humble and friendly personality, even though he's a highly successful MMA fighter. He is also known as a highly successful UFC fighter in the featherweight division and is known as one of the best UFC fighters ever, but he does not let that stop him from being an awesome person. An award I believe Alexander Volkanovski should have is a courage award because he shows lots of courage when he is fighting.
