The 2022 Dunga Derby was yet another resounding success, with $584,026 raised for Queensland families facing tough times. GetGenuine member Pialba Smash Repairs are a regular participant in the Fraser Coast Dunga Derby, proudly reaching their fundraising target of $5,000 raised.

Participants & officials

The Dunga Derby started in 2015, when a group of local businesses came together after a friend’s child was struck down with an aggressive brain tumour. Shortly afterwards, a teenage dancer in the community was diagnosed with bone cancer.

Pialba Smash Repairs have enjoyed entering the Dunga ont = Raleway Derby adventures every year since it all began in 2015.

They say they will continue to join in every year and chip away at their already incredible donation tally – currently over $42,000.

The group of businesses wanted to raise money to support the families’ medical, travel and loss of income expenses. And so the Rally for a Cause Dunga Derby concept was born.

WHAT IS SEPSIS? Maddy Jones was an 18-year-old Honours Law student in the prime of her life. She was intelli` gent, beautiful, very independent, wickedly funny, sarcastic, and sometimes irreverent. She died from Sepsis in October 2017.

Had there been greater awareness around Sepsis, Maddy's symptoms would have been recognised by both family and healthcare professionals. Maddy's death was preventable.

Symptoms include: Sepsis is a life-threatening infection that may look like the flu or gastro and start with any infection such as chest, throat, skin or urinary tract.

The Maddy Jones Foundation aims to eliminate preventable deaths and disabilities resulting from a lack of Sepsis awareness, speedy diagnosis and immediate medical treatment.

If you detect even a few of these symptoms, seek medical help immediately.

Just ask, “Could this be Sepsis?”

When depression and alcohol meet

Richard’s alcohol addiction and battle with depression took a massive toll. It was only when he reached breaking point that he was able to confront what he was doing to himself and take action to get back on track.

Medicating with alcohol

Richard started drinking when he was around 15 years old.

At 18, he landed a job at a major bank. Over the next two decades he met his wife, started a family and worked his way up to a vice-president position.

Yet with the added responsibility came extra pressure. To cope, Richard drank more. He started drinking before work.

Sometimes, he would drink on the job.

Impact on work and struggling to sleep

Gradually his performance at work began to suffer.

“I made bad judgements, was forgetful, missed deadlines and lost drive and energy,” says Richard. “Even still, no one wanted to talk about it.’

Soon, it became clear. Richard was an alcoholic. One of the major casualties of his drinking was his first marriage.

“I felt shame. Shame at my addiction. Shame that I had let everybody down as a husband, a father, a friend, an employee.”

Diagnosed with depression

Richard’s workplace had a mandatory health check for all employees over 40 with a company doctor. It came at the perfect time.

The doctor, who immediately noticed Richard was a sick man, asked about his lifestyle.

“When he asked how much I drank, I lied, but it was still enough to scare him,” says Richard.

He recommended a psychologist, who Richard opened up to about his difficulty sleeping. His work struggles. His addiction.

And he felt like a huge burden had been lifted from his shoulders.

Trying different treatments

Diagnosed with depression, Richard started to wonder whether his drinking was the cause or a coping strategy.

Not long after the diagnosis, Richard was admitted to a rehabilitation clinic.

“Strangely enough, I found rehab to be heaven. Once I had overcome withdrawal, I felt that I was cocooned from the world and all its stresses and problems,” he says.

Richard finished his six-week stint at rehab. When he left, he was convinced he was ‘fixed’.

Relapsing and returning to alcohol

Over the next decade, Richard remarried, left the bank where he’d spent his entire career and moved to Australia. It was meant to be a fresh start.

But less than two years in, tragedy struck.

“I received the most horrific phone call of my life. My first wife and my 20-year-old son had died in a car crash. My daughter miraculously survived and was physically unharmed,” says Richard.

“Once again, alcohol became my comfort.”

But this time it was even worse. After trying everything she could to help, Richard’s second wife left him. He felt he was of no value to himself and a burden to everyone close to him.

“Since I had no purpose, I decided suicide would be best for everyone.”

Richard tried to take his own life. He sustained serious injuries but he was found and taken to hospital in Brisbane before it was too late.

Working towards recovery

Richard defied the odds, made a full recovery from his injuries and was discharged. He then reconnected with his wife.

“It was a miracle. I had a second chance and I wasn’t going to waste it. I needed to replace the darkness and despair with positive passions.”

Alongside trialling medications and sleeping aids, and attending regular counselling and AA meetings Richard picked up new hobbies, developing a passion for photography and writing and completed a degree in journalism and a masters in creative writing.

He also began to put time back into the community through volunteering. In 2016, he embarked on a solo motorbike ride around Australia, covering 16,000km in 46 days. In the process, he raised $6,000 for Beyond Blue.

A new mindset for mental health

The way Richard sees it, he was, is and always will be an alcoholic. When he is feeling down, stressed or anxious, he reaches out to his support network.

“Help is anywhere and everywhere. If you need it – take it”

TOP SAFETY RATINGS FOR MERCEDES-BENZ AND LAND ROVER A f ive-star safety rating has been issued for the Mercedes-Benz GLC and upgraded Land Rover Discovery Sport by the Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP).

Additional options are now available for safetyconscious consumers looking to buy a midsize SUV, says ANCAP following recent safety upgrades and reassessment against 2022 protocols for both.

The Mercedes-Benz GLC achieved a high Adult Occupant Protection score of 92%.

Full points were awarded for the protection of the driver and child occupants in the side impact test, the driver in the full width f rontal test, and f ront seat passenger in the f rontal offset (MPDB) test. Protection offered to the chest of the driver in the oblique pole test was however assessed as “weak”.
