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 life, personal and/or life:
“The dialectic between change and continuity is a painful but deeply instructive one, in personal life as in the life of a people. To “see the light” too often has meant rejecting the treasures found in darkness.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“Wherever the State touches the personal life of the infant, the child, the youth, or the aged, helpless, defective in mind, body or moral nature, there the State enters “woman’s peculiar sphere,” her sphere of motherly succor and training, her sphere of sympathetic and self-sacrificing ministration to individual lives.”
—Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)
“Curiosity is one of the lowest of the human faculties. You will have noticed in daily life that when people are inquisitive they nearly always have bad memories and are usually stupid at bottom.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
