Australian Winter Olympian Curler Dean Hewitt

Dean Hewitt is one half of the first ever Australian team to qualify for Curling at the Olympic Games, He partnered with Tahli Gill at the Beijing 2022 Games to represent his country to some epic wins and enchanted Aussies with the sport of Curling.

Dean has been influenced by two great men in his career. His Grandfather in Canada and Curling legend Ian "ice nut" Pellagio, who died from a rare form of blood cancer in 2020. What both these men had in common is that they were both blood product recipients. 

Dean also volunteers with the Starlight Foundation who have given so much to our family.  To learn more about them and how you can support them go to: Home page | Starlight Children's Foundation | Australian Children's Charity
