"It is really hard when we do physical education, I play soccer and swim and sometimes it is hard when I try to join in, but the swimming has helped my asthma," Lachlan said at the time.
The committee that chose Lachlan as the winner said he tries to make the most of each opportunity presented to him at school and even though he was too sick to compete in the school cross country, he was a valuable support person and cheered on all of the runners.
Nominations close soon, and if you would like to nominate a child this year, please go to the Facebook page – Asthma Young Achievers Award and ask for a nomination pack.
