The Last Day



Set off early today to return to Penrith after spending the night in our own home. It is certainly more relaxing that way. An invigorating spa took away some of the aches from walking downhill all day yesterday.
At Panthers On The Prowl we met up with Andrew Penman and Richard Booth showed us the fantastic program Panthers support for kids who are not engaging at school. In a week that hasn't been good for League, Andrew, Jan and I saw a program that is doing wonderful things in its local community. It's great to get behind the media and see what this club is doing in an unpublicised way for its local community. We also met Zac, an under twenty player from Dubbo who currently is off with a shoulder injury; more of the good side of league.
Andrew and I set off for the first ten kilometres, which took us past St Marys. I was able to find out just some of the wonderful work the Cancer Council is doing to support treatment, prevention and research and about the initiatives taken in public health. I found myself full of admiration for someone who can manage such a diverse organisation and still retain close touch with the community.
I spoke again with 2BS at Bathurst and to the crowd at the opening of the Relay. The wonders of modern technology (and I can't even get the photos up on the blog yet)!
I have to finish now so I am not late to the Showground.
