The Riewoldt family name is synonymous with AFL excellence in Australia. Both Nick and Jack Riewoldt have had incredible careers in the AFL and Nick now with commentary and sports media. 

Nick sister and Jack's cousin, Maddie Riewoldt died at the age of 26 from complications of Aplastic Anaemia and Bone Marrow Failure Syndrome. She has left an epic legacy of blood donation advocacy, research and support patients and their families through the organisation founded by her family in her honour, Maddie Reiwoldt's Vision.
