SUNDAY NIGHT! “I CAN only imagine what these parents and children are going through...every day you’ve got to take a step forward, no matter how small it is, and they’ll all add up.” Tony has since completed a cou- ple of long distance rides a week as well as weights, running and kayaking training. But as well as needing to be physically prepared for the endea- vour, he also needs to raise at least $5000 to go towards the $300,000 pool for the Sydney Children’s Hos- pital Foundation and the Royal Children’s Hospital Foundation Brisbane. For the past three weeks Tony has been on the roller enduro at the Sunshine Plaza, in the hope of inspiring shoppers to donate. “I had little kids coming up to me and give me their pocket money,” Tony said. “It’s actually very hard physical- ly, it takes a couple of days after to recover from a session, it’s like running a marathon.” Despite Tony’s undeniable infat- uation with inspiring and helping others, he has a constant reminder not to push it too hard. “My heart disease is genetic, I was told when I had my heart at- tack at 43, when they opened me up, they told me I should have died in my early 30s, but the only reason I survived is because my heart adapted through endurance train- ing,” he said. Tony said it was important for him to keep his positive outlook and lifestyle for the sake of Mur- doch, now 25 with a pacemaker and defibrillator, 17-year-old daughter Freyja and eldest daughter Anja. “Before my heart attack it was all about how fast I was going, whether I was going to break my previous record. It was just pure competitiveness and just wasn’t enjoyable,” he said. “Now it’s about looking at what’s around me, not going quite so fast and not worrying whether I don’t achieve that goal that day...I just try and enjoy the ride. “The fact that I could drop dead at any moment...that’s scary. But in saying that, every day that you’re out there doing something posi- tive, if you do die at the end of that day, at least you’ve lived life pro- perly, and if I do last another 30 years...that’s a bonus.” Tony will take part in the five- day 1200kms For Kids ride from Sydney to Brisbane from October 13. To help with sponsorship or do- nations, visit www.1200kmfor- kids.com and go to Tony’s donation page or contact him directly tandc- [email protected] . Tony will also be back at the Sun- shine Plaza this Sunday from 10am-2pm at the Riverwalk stage.

THE Middy’s complex on Buderim has caught many residents’ atten- tion as the exterior re- novations near comple- tion. I have been extremely happy to see the work finished. Not only does it look great, but it’s a lot quieter in the office now! During my time at the Buderim Chronicle, I have attended many lo- cal gatherings to cap- ture the moment and discovered that people love seeing their photo in the newspaper, espe- cially their local paper. I am proud to reveal that the Buderim Chronicle is launching a special Our People, Our Places page where your photos will appear each week. If you have a special event happen- ing and would like to send some social pho- tos through, email them to bude- [email protected]. Please ensure all names are included in the email so nobody misses out. Time is also ticking away until the council budget is handed down next week. I will be catching up with coun- cillors Ted Hungerford and Christian Dickson to find out which areas won and where we fell short. No doubt they will have an interesting take on how the whole thing pans out. If you have a question for either councillor about an issue within the community, let me know and I will put it to them. Your questions and responses will fea- ture in an upcoming is- sue of the paper. I hope you enjoy reading this week’s Bu- derim Chronicle. Send letters to bude- [email protected], or if you have a story idea, give me a call on 5445 4888. – NICOLE FUGE Editor’s note ON Saturday, June 26, Fusion Sunshine Coast will be taking local young people to Cleveland in Brisbane for a Fusion day trip and fun day out.
