Here are what two locals are getting up to.If you’d like to share your story please get in touch.
Knitting, Tatting and Nervous Breakdowns
Alison Bryson is currently involved with the CPPA exploring how we can create
“You’ve no idea what’s happening to you, have you?” the doctor asked.
She was right.
In 2010 Alison Bryson had a nervous breakdown. She didn’t know people who had breakdowns. She didn’t know what to do with herself being unable to work. She didn’t know if she would recover and be able to live independently again. She just didn’t know.
This is her story of not recognising herself or the mind that she’d known for forty years, of being looked after by her parents in the Scottish village where she grew up and of the people and activities she encountered, that brought joy back into her life.
The book is available through all major outlets as paperback or e-book; Amazon, Book Depository, Angus & Robertson, Fishpond, Booktopia
The Great Cycle Challenge
Nico Marcar is an active landcarer and advocates for better cycling across the City through LMCC’s Active Transport Advisory Group and Sustainable Neighbourhood Alliance. This October, he’s taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids’ cancer!
Nico’s reasons for participating are clear.
“Research is vital to support cancer prevention and treatment. This requires funding.
Cancer is the largest single killer of children from disease in Australia.
Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.
And so I am riding and raising funds to support the Children’s Medical Research Institute to continue their work into the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and finding a cure for childhood cancer.
I’ve set myself a goal of 500 km.
Your support through donations to my fundraising page will help to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.”
