52,000km bicycle ride from London to NZ
Nov 21, 2017
Major open heart surgery as a four-year-old child taught Jeremy that life was precious and something to cherish. He began to see life as a rollercoaster ride, filled with challenges and experiences. Some of those challenges were forced upon him, others were of his own design. On the 5th October 2011, Jeremy began a challenge that was of his own design, a journey that was many years in the planning; a 2 ½ year, 51,916km unsupported bicycle ride from London to New Zealand. As he pedaled his way around the planet he accumulated more than enough kilometers to circumnavigate the earth. At the conclusion of this phenomenal journey, Jeremy wrote the highly successful book ‘The Long Road From a Broken Heart’ and now dedicates his life to inspiring others. As a passionate supporter of numerous charities, Jeremy has recently been awarded the 2015 Australian Heart Foundation ‘Heart Hero’ Award for his work raising funds, awareness and inspiring others with heart disease. |

Linda is a local author who has written three books about her life in WA
Jan 23, 2018
Linda J Bettenay is a local WA author who writes under her birth name and is an excellent and entertaining speaker. Linda was born in Roleystone, into a pioneering orcharding family who have farmed the land since 1901 and have lived in the area since 1895. Linda's current occupation is owner and editor of a community magazine, The Roleystone Courier. This monthly publication has existed in Roleystone for over 40 years and, along with her husband Mike, has owned and operated this business since January 2008. This is a labour of love, providing a much loved and important method of communication to this delightful rural community. Prior to this, Linda was in education and spent over 30 years in schools across regional Western Australia. Linda and Mike have two sons, Joseph and Brett, two daughters-in-law Beth and Rebecca and three very cherished grandchildren Leigh, Violet and Mirabelle. Linda's stimulus to write her first novel has come from the discovery of an amazing, true story of an event in her husband's family. This story was kept secret from the family over the years and was only recently uncovered. |

Evening Meeting - Her experience in attending the 9th European Deafblind International Conference
Feb 06, 2018
Vanessa is a 19 year old woman who is both deaf and blind. While Ms Vlajkovic was born blind, her hearing did not begin to deteriorate until she was seven. She learnt braille at 4 and twelve months ago switched off from the hearing world. Due to her limited vision, the Auslan is ‘tactile’ meaning the signs are formed on Vanessa’s hands. Vanessa has never let her sensory loss prevent her from being involved at school and in the community – competing in gymnastics and cheer-leading, several awards, and being named WA Young Person of the Year in 2016. She has become a significant advocate within the Deafblind Community, and helped establish Deafblind West Australians, an entity providing support, social interaction and advocacy for deafblind individuals. The Rotary Club of Osborne Park sponsored her to attend the 9th European Deafblind International Conference, held in Aalborg, Denmark in September 2017 where she presented a paper on “The important role that touch has played in my life”. |

Waking up deaf
Feb 20, 2018
Michele Alexander knows what it’s like to go through a good dose of hell. She woke up one day and her hearing started failing. Then. It was gone. How would you feel if that happened to you? The only option was a cochlea implant. If I woke up and found myself without hearing, I could probably kiss DJing and Beatboxing goodbye. But then again, people like Michele are proof that you can do more than manage a new way of life, you can excel. Michele overcame that most dreadful of challenges to which we are all susceptible. I’m not talking about losing your hearing, but something harder to come to grips with. The accepting of yourself the way you are. Michele tells a story of being ashamed of her cochlea implant. She didn’t want anyone to know. On top of that, she got her fair share of cancer, had chemo and lost her hair. This resulted in having to wear a wig because she was still so afraid of people seeing the cochlea implant. Things changed in a single moment when she met Nick Vujicic. A super human without arms and legs. Michele went to give Nick a hug at one of his gigs and this is where she had a healing transformation. She told Nick, “before I give you a hug, I have to do something.” She removed her wig in front of all those people. Exposing her cochlea implant of course, but more importantly, accepting who she really was. Many of us go through life hiding something from others, when really it’s not the worst thing when they find out. In fact, most people do not react the way we think they would have. It’s our own acceptance of who we are. Yet, I believe there is something even greater at play here. A further fear and Ordeal to pass through. It is quite simply, facing our light, seeing that we are capable of amazing things even in the face of weakness. Michele is a business coach and the past-President of Belmont Rotary Club. |
