Anna’s story. Bronwyn Donaghy. 1997.

She was just fifteen. She was leaving school to start the job of her dreams. She was beautiful, she had a loving family and countless friends. Yet on 21  October 1995, Anna Wood took an ecstasy tablet at a dance party and died three days later. A life destroyed a family devastated, a community in shock.

Within days Angela, Tony and Alice Wood were working together with the Australian Medical Association to establish the Anna Wood Drug and Alcohol Education Project, a youth driven grassroots campaign to empower young people and their parents to tackle drug and alcohol abuse.
