Our Ambassador Family
Lionheart's Ambassador Program
About the Ambassador Family Program
An Ambassador Family plays a vital role in promoting awareness of Lionheart programs, building trust within the community, and inspiring others to support our mission. By sharing their personal experiences, our Ambassadors help to foster understanding, encourage connection, and raise essential funds to ensure no grieving child has to walk their journey alone.
Lionheart's Ambassador program was established in 2022, with Oscar being our inaugural Ambassador. The Dyer family held the Ambassador Family role across 2023 and 2024 and in 2025 we welcome the Parker family!

The Parker Family
Sheena, Joel, Astrid, and Tyson are our 2025 Ambassador Family
In 2025, we are honoured to welcome the Parker Family as our new Lionheart Ambassador Family. Sheena and her three children—Joel, Astrid, and Tyson—became part of the Lionheart community following the tragic death of their husband and father, Philip, in a road traffic accident in 2022. Living rurally, Sheena and her children have attended many Lionheart programs, finding connection, support, and healing alongside other bereaved families.
As our Ambassador Family, the Parkers will share their journey to help raise awareness about childhood grief and the importance of support. Through media, events, and their own networks, they will be a voice for families navigating loss, advocating for the work we do at Lionheart.
We are so grateful to Sheena, Joel, Astrid, and Tyson for stepping into this role and sharing their story with courage and kindness.

The Dyer Family
Toby, Gena, Cloey, Deegan, and Justin were our Ambassador Family for 2023/2024.
The Dyers first attended a Lionheart New Families Camp in early 2021 after experiencing the death of their son and brother, Eithan, at 28 weeks gestation in 2019. Over the past two and a half years, they have been incredibly active members of our Lionheart family, having attended all of our core programs at least once, regularly supporting our events, and raising funds for the work we do.
During their ambassadorship, the Dyers have been bravely sharing their Lionheart story in many different forums, including media interviews (Couch TV) and presentations, such as the heartfelt speech they gave to over 300 people at our annual quiz night fundraiser in August 2023.
They also took part in the HBF Run for a Reason in 2023 and 2024 in support of Lionheart, with the family walking 4km in memory of Eithan and raising over $3,000.
