Radio

Well, Katy was going to update tonight, but it doesn't look as if she's gotten around to it - so to keep this place interesting, I will update on her behalf (and she can update more later!)

Today I talked to 106.3 about appearing on their breakfast show - they're going to get back to me. I also talked to the ABC about being interviewed on their afternoon show. Both producers seemed really nice and genuinely interested about raising awareness about this illness which is GREAT! We need more energy around awareness. It's really cool, but also kind of scary!!! We'll probably be doing the Mix 106.3 breakfast show on Thursday morning - which means we're going to have to get up at stupid-o'clock to get to the studio by 5:30am.

We're also going to have a feature done on us in the Canberra Times. We have that interview on Wednesday. I'm not sure what day it will be published. We're going to try and get pictures of when we do all of this so we can keep readers entertained! ;)

Today I decorated Civic (bus interchange and around near Oporto) with posters for our Youth Week Events, so when you get a chance (and you live in Canberra) check it out! It was quite amusing, it was windy, I was by myself...sticky tape and paper doesn't go well when there's a wind blowing them together. Mass frustration.

Everything's really getting underway!!! It's quite surreal really, but amazing. I am so honored to be meeting such amazing people on this journey - and I am so honored to be working with Katy and Hannah, who have just as much passion as I do around this issue.



This is a picutre of Katy and I right before the forum. We were so hyped up on nerves and excitement! I think Jan was doing a phone interview just behind where the camera is. haha. It was pouring with rain and I forgot that I was wearing sunnies. Oopsies.


When Katy and Hannah get around to it, they will introduce themselves, but for now, I am going to talk about MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.



That's me. Looking thoughtful and planning our next media escapades. I belive that was taken about 3 mintues before earth hour. But I was too scared to turn the lights out totally...I was home alone and it was dark and I couldn't find the candles. I enjoy appearing thoughtful and intelligent. Haha.

I should also go to bed as I have a long day tomorrow :) Hopefully Katy or Hannah will update soon so you don't have to listen to only my nonsensicle rantings!

You ladies are amazing! It's really inspiring, the way you're raising awareness and making a difference. In fact, everything about you is inspiring. Keep it up, it's people like you who bring about real change.
