Running for Premature Babies
By Sophie, founder of the charity Running for Premature Babies I started this charity 17 years ago after losing all three of my prematurely born triplets to their prematurity. I wanted to reach out to you as a local young man in your community who was born at the same gestation as my triplets but was lucky enough to survive, and who is now doing something amazing and I would so love for your local Naracoorte News to publish this story! Lachy Miles, aged 25, is taking part in the Run Melbourne running event on Sunday 16 July to support my charity, which is raising funds for a lifesaving neonatal ventilator for the Monash Newborn NICU, which will save the lives of premature babies. Lachy’s story is remarkable. Born at 23 weeks gestation he wasn’t expected to survive this premature birth and was given a 20% chance of survival. Lachy […]

Lochaber WAB New Year
By Angie Burzacott Tuesday June 6th, Lochaber WAB Members gathered at Lochaber Hall. Following a most enjoyable 2021/2022 year the meeting was called to close business for the 2022/2023 Year. All Office Bearers vacated their positions. The Annual General Meeting then proceeded. CHAIR PERSON – Chris Thornton SECRETARY – Lyn Bellman Lochaber WAB are a small group of members and at times these positions take some time with care to fill. As numbers have dropped, we opened a discussion about how we all enjoy the friendships, sharing different activities we know that to see this Branch fold, is not an option! Knowing how full everyone’s lives are, the suggestion was put forward, that all of us “share the load”. No one is expected to do it all. Don’t hesitate to ask for assistance and ideas and plans can be fulfilled. Each year WAB choose a “Country Of Study”. This year […]
Shitbox Golf Challenge
By Erin Mcwaters The Shitbox Rally Spring 2023 team of Shannon and Erin, along with the talented Lucindale Country Club catering crew hosted the Lucindale Survivors Shitbox Golf Challenge on Sunday, June 11 th , and “Sherlee the Shitbox” turned up with the perfect weather in the boot! The Shitbox Rally participants raise awareness and funds for the much-needed Cancer Council, and to even get off the start line, all 250 teams need to raise a minimum of $5k to start the Rally, in a car worth less than $1,500, which leaves Port Douglas in October bound for Adelaide via Birdsville. The aim of the day was to fundraise, however a lot of fun was had by the 19 teams entered, including teeing off on the 1 st off of a tyre, navigating through obstacles on multiple greens, nearest to pins, nearest to rope and longest drive and a $5 […]
