20.01.2022 ROAD TRAUMA: Paediatric road-related injuries (including pedal cycle injuries) should be part of a broader Federal and State Government injury prevention strategy. The National Road Safety Strategy which aimed for a 30% reduction in deaths and severe injuries from road trauma from 2011-2020 has largely not worked. In view of the fact that serious injuries, as a result of motor transport crashes, have actually increased in the last 12 months and the death rate has decreased b...y less than 4% since 2011, current strategies are clearly not working. Christmas will see new bikes, scooters and kids out having a great time - as they should. Please remember your helmets this Christmas. Its easy to focus on the bike, but wrap up a nice new helmet and pop it under the tree too. Be safe this Christmas and into 2018. Remember to wear your helmets.

19.01.2022 Summer is here. Christmas is just 7 days away. Let's make it a safe one - and a fun one! While most of us will enjoy a beautiful Christmas with family and friends, there will be some who spend it in hospital - some more critical than others. Spare a thought this Christmas. And if you can spare some loose change - go to http://dayofdifference.org.au/ and show your support.... #7daystogo #merrychristmas

17.01.2022 Is This the Most Adorable Email Youve Ever Seen!!! As we launched Marathon with a Difference to kids at school, an email came through later that night from a parent of a 5-year-old. Heres what it said...... Subject: Marathon with a Difference Hi Kim, Thought you would like to know that following on from the assembly Kindy presumably had today, Beccy came home and announced that she needed to run a marathon. She had picked up that she could just do 1 km a night, so we got ready to set off and then she announced we needed to take a medical kit. So, she cleared out the bathroom cabinet of band aids, bandages etc. packed them into her play doctors medical bag and then asked me to carry it as we ran around the neighbourhood. Picture the scene as it is almost getting dark, she is running as if her life depended on it and I am carrying a medical bag with me as I accompany her! She was quite disappointed not to see any passers by requiring medical attention and has decided we need to do our next run along the front in Manly because it will be busier! She must have picked up from the assembly that running was not enough - you also needed to offer first aid to anyone who may need it as you ran! Fortunately wed received the parent letter so were able to decipher what was meant to happen... See you tomorrow, Jason

13.01.2022 An amazing group of girls from Wenona are off and running (pardon the pun) with Marathon with a Difference. Almost 80 girls from Kindergarten to Grade 6 have ran 59km and raised almost $1,200 in just 3 days. UT Prosim means "In Service" and these girls are doing this with no expectation of anything in return. They are fired up to make a real difference and they are.... Its so inspiring to see - you might not know them, but you can support them. Donate now. Support these inspiring young kids shaping the future for critically injured kids. (Stay tuned for inspiring true story of little girl on her first day of Marathon with a Difference...) #marathonwithadifference

11.01.2022 Finally Ride for a Difference will be in my home territory! I rode with the team a few years ago and had a ball. Theyre a fantastic group of people, and supporting families of critically injured children is a cause that every parent understands. Im personally looking forward to the route, its a challenging one! Along the way I hope to be able to ride a few kilometres with each person, and at the end of the day - share a drink and some great stories. See you in March!

08.01.2022 Young girl posted... "Lets run 42km. We can do it!" The comments then continued with...... "We Can Do it" "Good Luck Everyone!!!"

04.01.2022 Gratitude is something we hear a lot from parents. Gratitude that their child is alive, for the nurses, for the doctors, for the social workers, for friends, family, communities. Sometimes it gets terribly hard - and the key to survival is redressing the balance with gratitude.
