The Dick Reynolds Club (DRC) will pay tribute to Adam Ramanauskas at the second DRC Lunch for 2010 as we help him launch his new book "Nine Lives" written by Adam and Emma Quayle.

Nine Lives follows Adam’s incredible life and provides insight into not only what he went through but also the journey of his childhood sweetheart Belinda, his family and parents.

His best friend Dean Solomon, Dr.Bruce Reid and Essendon greats such as James Hird, Mark McVeigh and Kevin Sheedy will be there on the day to help tell this remarkable story.

Adam Ramanauskas was the youngest member of Essendon Football Club’s 2000 premiership side. He was just nineteen. A graceful half-back or wingman, he played 134 games in 10 years, retiring at the end of 2008 after three successful comebacks from cancer treatment and a major knee injury.

Adam married Belinda in 2006 and their son, Aidan, was born in 2008. In 2007 he was named one of Australia’s Most Inspirational People by The Australian. He has a strong alliance with the Cancer Council and is a spokesperson for the Call to Arms campaign.

Emma Quayle has been a senior sports writer at Melbourne’s Age newspaper since 2001 and won the 2009 AFL Players’ Association’s award for excellence in football journalism.
