Run, support and raise Whilst a small number of the rivers and creeks may be flowing again, some farmers are doing it tough, both financially and emotionally. They face the reality of no money, no income, no food or water for livestock and limited support from the government. There needs to be change. Feed the Farmers Fun Run was a perfect chance to lace up those runners and hit the Chinchilla pavements for an afternoon out with your family and friends. Congratulations to Jennie Downham and her team of helpers, who should be very proud of bringing this event to Chinchilla. Their passion and enthusiasm to bring awareness to everyone in Chinchilla regarding this situation is inspiring and so typical of that great Aussie bush spirit. A Big ‘Thank you’ goes to all energetic and passionate individuals who signed up and made the commitment to raise muchneeded funds. A total of 81 runners, including 21 children (and a couple of dogs) all determined to make a difference, took part in the 5 km run/walk in support of drought-affected farmers across Queensland and managed to raise a stunning $1661. Some even got into the spirit and dressed up as a Farmer! Continued page 8.
