Your Morning Blog (Oct 17th)

damian_richmond_smaller.jpgYou can listen to the Podcast of this morning’s One-on-One guest, the Crazy-Man, Damian Richmond, by clicking HERE.  Damian is hoping to ride from Perth to Melbourne on his push-bike in a world record 8 days!  He leaves Perth tomorrow and is doing this ride to raise funds for an orphanage in Africa.  Find out more by following the link to the Race Across Australia website

 

In “Yesterday’s DiaryAnnette rang to tell me that she is a Kid’s Hope Mentor down at Geelong.  This is where an adult goes into a school and spends an hour with one of the children - building up their confidence and self-esteem.  Annette told me that the boy she mentors LOVES footy, and being in Geelong, loves the Cats.  She is a friend of Gary Ablett Snr and after quite a lot of organising eventually organised for Gary to come and spend an hour kicking the footy with her boy.  Needless to say - he was over the moon (and couldn’t really believe that Gary Ablett was there just to kick the footy with him!).  Well done Annette - and well done Gary!
