Sporting guernsey's to honour those that have served...

Young veterans, Luke Adamson and Benny Yoemans have joined together to produce strikingly beautiful sporting guernseys for clubs around Australia. And, at the same time, raise awareness of the fight against breast cancer. Honouring the Anzac spirit and the memories of those that have served, each guernsey tells the story of a soldier. These personalised, beautiful guernseys are available for community and sporting organisations around the country. Honouring the service and helping to fight breast cancer, you can contact Luke Adamson through Linkedin or through The Last Post magazine and Radio Show. This episode was recorded live at the Rival Brothers Cafe, in Mt Barker, South Australia.

"I was praying and begging him to stay with me, to hold on" - It's Because I Love You

I became engaged in this book, in this conversation to a degree I had not expected. Here, I speak with Karin Keays, travel-writer and author and the wife of the late-Jim Keays, about her new book, It's Because I Love You. We speak of Karin meeting Jim, their relationship and marriage and their two beautiful daughters. We then moved on to discussion about Karin's third pregnancy and the death, soon after birth, of their third child and first son, William. In this bold and confronting book and conversation, Karin speaks about wanting to follow her intuition in having misgivings about inducing, about loss and about not being able to describe the feeling of letting her son go and how her son is still with her (I love him with all my heart, he's with me everyday). Karin also speaks about the beauty and kindness of good friend, the late-Daryl Cotton and the benefits of a hot curry, a long walk and sharing her story in the hope it will help others. On a lighter note, Karin speaks about the lazy, big and insecure cat, Ricky...and his fights with the nasty Rusty the cat.
