Dear Ms Silva,

We believe Professor Fred Hollows is one of our greatest Australians. He was an ophthalmologist and humanitarian who dedicated his life to restoring sight to people around the world, as well as Australia. He is also one of the most recognisable Australians in history, according to market research.

The Foundation that carries his name has helped restore sight to more than 2.5 million people.

Fred was honoured as Australian of the Year in 1990, awarded the Human Rights Medal that same year, and appointed Companion of the Order of Australia (AC) in 1991, among many other honors.

We believe Fred represents the best Australians can be, a benchmark for goodness we can all aspire to. One of our goals is to share Fred’s legacy with a new generation, and make sure what he symbolises continues to live on in our culture.

Increasingly, we look to modern methods to do this. The ‘Google Doodle’ is one such method.

For these reasons, we think Fred Hollows would be the perfect choice for the Google Doodle on 9 April, his birthday. We have included some illustrations of what this could look like.
