Thanks for your support
I would like to say thank you to The Area News for their story on my involvement in the Great Cycle Challenge. With the support of the community and The Area News I have been able to achieve my fund raising target of $500 and have raised $910 for kids with cancer. Thank you to all my sponsors!
The Great Cycle Challenge will take place throughout the month of October and during this time I aim to ride 100 kilometres.
If you would still like to sponsor me you can at https://greatcyclechallenge.com.au/Riders/EmilyAdamson

Mental Health Month
I want to encourage everyone to take some time to think about their mental health and seek help if needed.
The theme for Mental Health Month this year is ‘value your mind’ and it aims to encourage people to prioritise their own mental health and wellbeing just as much as they would maintain their physical and social health.
Mental health issues affect approximately one in five Australians every year and the awareness month is a good opportunity to understand the importance mental health plays in our daily lives, whether someone has experienced a mental illness or not.
The busy hustle and bustle of our daily lives often means people forget to stop for a moment and consider their own mental health and wellbeing.
This month provides the perfect opportunity for people to reach out to one another and talk about mental health and in doing so help break down the stigma and discrimination that people with mental illness face every day.
Mental Health Month is coordinated by the Mental Health Association of NSW. For more information on events being held throughout NSW during Mental Health Month visit www.mentalhealth.asn.au.

Bush fire danger period begins
The statutory Bush Fire Danger Period across NSW has commenced. During this time, many areas will likely experience above-normal fire conditions based on the Bureau of Meteorology predicting a strong El-Niño weather pattern, particularly over the next three months.
As Acting President of the NSW Rural Fire Service Association, the representative body of all NSW RFS members, I urge the community to assist our rural fire fighters by doing a few simple things:
- During the period permits are required for lighting a fire, to ensure it is done safely. These can be obtained by contacting the local Fire Control Centre or your local brigade permit officer.
- Make sure your family has an adequate Bush Fire Survival Plan. This helps with making important decisions about what action to take in the event of fire threatening your home or property. Adequate preparation saves lives.
Every community across NSW should be proud of the tremendous work the members of their local Rural Fire Brigades do, as they get on with the job of protecting the community.
