Chantelle Cobby's kind heart and enterprising spirit will see her pitch her anti-bullying web campaign to Google's headquarters in Sydney next month.

They are putting my dad and I up for two nights and we will stay for an extra four and just do some sight-seeing. It's the potential of them [Google] taking your campaign and using it but other than that it's the experience ..."
