Hi everyone,
What a week it’s been!
Sport is thriving across our region – from the recent Wanderers footy carnival featured on page 41, to the excitement building as the Great Barrier Reef Arena prepares to host men’s international cricket for the first time later this month, which you can read all about on page 38.
On a more personal note, I want to take a moment to encourage you to check in – with yourself and those around you.
Last week, I attended the official launch of the Universal Aftercare program at Mackay Base Hospital, which supports people on the road to recovery after a suicide attempt.
It’s easy to get caught up in the busyness of life, but it’s vital to pause and reach out to your mates – because tomorrow is never promised.
As a journalist, I have the privilege of sharing stories about inspiring locals and meeting wonderful people. Yet, I also write about those lost to tragic circumstances. Though I may not have known them personally, my heart aches for the families and friends left behind.
This week we are also mourning the loss of another young man’s life who tragically passed away in a traffic accident, sometimes life feels so unfair.
Tomorrow truly isn’t promised. So please, appreciate the loved ones around you, check in on your friends, offer support, and pray for those grieving or struggling in any way you can.
Romans 12:10 reminds us: “Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honouring each other.”
Because love conquers all.
