About Little Heroes Foundation

Little Heroes Foundation is a charity that supports children experiencing physical and mental illness.

Since 1996 Little Heroes Foundation (formerly MMF) has raised close to $40 million, the majority used to upgrade life changing facilities at Adelaide’s Women’s and Children’s Hospital.

Little Heroes has also provided daily support to families in need through their Little Heroes Care program.

Leith Forrest (MC)

Radio Host - Nights Announcer

1395 FIVEaa 

Born in Millicent in the Southeast, radio has been in my blood having started when Leith Forrest was 14 in community radio. In 2000, he started at FIVEaa as a producer / announcer and this September will celebrate his 23rd anniversary.

Leith spent close to two decades working on the sport show and AFL coverage and having hosted every show in every time slot he is now the new host of FIVEaa nights.

Leith coupled his work FIVEaa with stints at The Advertiser, Nova 919 and Mcleods Daughters.

Through a great 20-year friendship with Chris McDermott, Leith has a terrific relationship with the Little Heroes Foundation.

Leith is married to the lovely Jessica, with two children Bailey and Ella. His other great loves are his hometown of Millicent, and the Carlton Football club.

Chris McDermott

Founder and CEO

Little Heroes Foundation

Chris McDermott is the founder of Little Heroes Foundation, and is currently the Chairman of the Board and acting Chief Executive Officer. Chris is perhaps best known as the inaugural captain of the Adelaide Crows, after beginning his footy career with the Glenelg Tigers in the SANFL.

It was through the Adelaide Crows that Chris was first introduced to Nicholas and Nathan, who were both battling cancer, and it was these two boys who inspired Chris and Tony McGuinness to form the organisation that became Little Heroes Foundation.

Since retirement from the AFL, Chris has continued working for the foundation while also working in many roles in the media, including breakfast radio. Chris is married to Jo and has twins Harper and Fraser.
