Every day is a blessing to me. The\u00a0privilege\u00a0of work, friends, home, a wonderful community to live in and raise my family a place like the Macleay Valley to simply Be. \u00a0 Everything is amplified for me as always looming in the backdrop is how quickly life can change and \u00a0since losing Hannah I take nothing for granted. \u00a0Every thing is a blessing and I am grateful.<\/p>\n

I’m working at both TAFE in Macksville in a coordinating role and also at the Macleay Vocational College as a workplacement coordinator 4.5 days per week between both organisations. This is keeping me pretty busy in conjunction with ongoing ride4acure tasks and future planning (I’m always planning!)<\/p>\n

I recently was able to contribute to Life Matters on ABC Radio National’s Life Matters <\/a>regarding charity choices. From this radio interview I’ve been presented with the opportunity to meet up with Professor Rick Kefford who is a leading Melanoma Researcher focusing on the role genetics have. I’m hoping to get to Sydney by the end of November and possibly line up with a visit to the gallery of NSW Parliament to be in the gallery when a community petition is tabled by the NSW Cancer Council\u00a0to extend smoking bans in outdoor areas.<\/p>\n

There’s also a feature article in the latest Horse Downunder <\/a>magazine for the Coast2Coast Horse Trek – has a great picture of Esther, the three horses and her dog Bobby on the front cover.\"Esther<\/p>\n
