Big League Cheerleader winner also has big heart

Kymberley Roebuck, a cheerleader for the Wests Tigers, has been awarded the title of Big League Cheerleader of the Year for 2010.

With her natural beauty, Kymberley brings joy to every supporter of the Wests Tigers.

She triumphed over the top cheerleaders in the NRL, winning through a popular vote.

Kymberley is a warm and sincere individual, and she made the decision to donate her winnings to Lleyton Giles, a brave five-year-old boy who is facing a terminal liver condition.

The Giles family were honored guests at the Wests Tigers match against Penrith at Campbelltown Sports Stadium a few weeks ago, following an inspiring training session with Lleyton.

Wests Tigers arranged for Lleyton to lead the team onto the field alongside captain Robbie Farah, where he set the ball down for kick-off with Benji Marshall.

After the game, Marshall hoisted Lleyton onto his shoulders, thanking supporters while the players created a guard of honour for Lleyton to pass through.

A couple of days later, Kymberley visited the Giles family and shared her intention to donate any prizes she might win to Lleyton.

Now, Kymberley is set to donate her first prize, a $2000 voucher from GoDo.com.au.

As part of her achievement, Kymberley is featured on the cover of this week’s Big League magazine, which includes a two-page article titled ‘Heart of Gold’ detailing her commitment to assist Lleyton.

“I mentioned to others before the final that they weren’t voting for me, but for Lleyton,’’ Kymberley explained.

“Witnessing what Wests Tigers did for Lleyton at Campbelltown deeply moved me. It was while driving home post-game that I resolved to donate my prize to Lleyton should I emerge victorious.

“It was an emotional realization. Meeting Lleyton taught me that life is fleeting and nothing should be taken for granted. He is such a remarkable boy.

“I want to express my gratitude to all the Wests Tigers supporters who cast their votes for me. Wests Tigers is truly the best club in the NRL to cheer for.

“Winning the competition feels great, but my happiness comes from being able to support Lleyton.”

While people may have cast their votes for Lleyton, they were equally recognizing your generous spirit…oh, and let’s not forget, you shine at cheerleading too.

Buford Balony says: Not only are we the finest team, we also boast the most attractive and talented cheerleaders. YeeeeeeeeeHaaaaaaaaa!
