It all started because Connor Watson just wanted to make a difference.
It's been over six years since his cousin, Parker, took his own life at age 16. In the aftermath of the tragedy, Watson wanted to do something to help, to use his status as an NRL star as a platform for real change.
Now Watson's Boots for a Brighter Future program will form part of the NRL's Indigenous Round for the sixth straight year with some of rugby league's biggest names to don boots decorated with Indigenous artwork by 43 youths across New South Wales and Queensland.
