Description

A Dozen Good Reasons traces the extraordinary life of Tim Outred—a man whose quiet strength, resilience, and boundless commitment to family and community make him a pillar of the Swan Districts Football Club and beyond. From his bustling childhood as the youngest of seven in a warm, inclusive household to becoming a devoted husband and father of twelve, Tim's journey is a testament to the power of perseverance and love.

Shaped by a family that extended far beyond bloodlines, Tim learned early the value of kindness, hard work, and community spirit. Though school posed challenges, he found his calling in craftsmanship, police work, sales, and ultimately in a life rich with service to others.

Tim's enduring partnership with Eliza, herself a champion for social justice and inclusion, birthed a blended family that exemplifies resilience, compassion, and joy. Together, they balance full lives filled with challenges, advocacy, and love—supporting each other and the broader community with unshakeable dedication.

Through tales of fishing by the Swan River, commitment to the Swan Districts Football Club, and the harmonies of his self-taught guitar, Tim's story invites readers to reflect on what truly matters: the connections we nurture, the kindness we offer, and the courage to keep moving forward no matter the odds.

In a world that often measures success by achievements and possessions, A Dozen Good Reasons reminds us that true wealth lies in family, friendship, and a heart open to giving—and receiving—love.
