Personal Life
Tredrea donated the proceeds of the 2004 3AW Player of the Year award to the Women's and Children's Hospital. The $10,000 worth of Magnavox fridges, televisions, sound systems and microwaves were distributed to children's therapy rooms and the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.
"One of my good friends' mums works at the Children's, and I'd heard a lot of kids that are getting chemotherapy haven't even got a TV to watch," Tredrea said. "Those guys are doing it a lot tougher than I am, and it would be nice if those kids could have a little bit of happiness," the former Port Adelaide captain then added.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“Denouement to denouement, he took a personal pride in the
certain, certain way he lived his own, private life,
but nevertheless, they shut off his gas; nevertheless,
the bank foreclosed; nevertheless, the landlord called;
nevertheless, the radio broke,
And twelve o’clock arrived just once too often,”
—Kenneth Fearing (1902–1961)
“For my part, I would rather look toward Rutland than Jerusalem. Rutland,—modern town,—land of ruts,—trivial and worn,—not too sacred,—with no holy sepulchre, but profane green fields and dusty roads, and opportunity to live as holy a life as you can, where the sacredness, if there is any, is all in yourself and not in the place.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
