MS Brissie to the Bay Bike Ride
2022-06-12
On Sunday 12th June, my brother-in-law Darrin Kefford (Kingaroy Joinery) and myself, Jason Ford (Kingaroy TAFE), are riding 100km in the MS Brissie To The Bay Bike Ride, to raise money for Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The ride will take us from Musgrave Park to Wellington Point and Cleveland.
We participated for the first time last year, but only rode in the shorter 50km as we had never ridden such a long distance. So this year we decided to go all out, push our limits and ride the whole 100km.
We also decided to use the ride as an opportunity to help fight MS, by fundraising. We have known quite a few people both professionally and personally who suffer from MS, including family members.
MS is one of the most common diseases of the central nervous system. It may affect the brain, spinal cord and optic nerve and impacts more young people in Australia than any other chronic neurological disease. The term multiple sclerosis means ‘many scars’ and depending on where those scars (lesions) develop, they result in various symptoms.
Between both our fundraising pages we have already raised over $1000 for MS.
If anyone is interested in supporting either of us, donations can be made to our individual online fundraising pages:
https://www.brissietothebay.com.au/fundraisers/jasonford
and

Xmas in July
2022-07-16 14:00 - 19:00
DIVA AND FRIENDS WILL MILK IT
Xmas in July at the Dairy – Variety Concert
DIVA, Musical Director and Producer, Louise Winton, is once again, bringing a jam-packed live music event to Adavale Farm, in the South Burnett.
Xmas in July – with The DIVA and other artists
Saturday 16th of July, 2-7pm
Adavale Farm, 2172 Burnett Hwy, Sandy Ridges, near Nanango
We will be showcasing up to 10 emerging and existing performing artists at this local, live music event and fundraiser.
Most musical taste will be covered over the afternoon with a diverse range of genres and performers, including Pop, Rock, Country, Originals, Covers, Classical and Christmas. During their half hour set, each performer will present at least 2 Christmas songs, in their chosen style, and then they will perform their favourite songs for the audience to enjoy. Local performers include, Amber Goldsmith, Louise Winton, Anna Walker, Paul Ricketts, Driver McSweeney, Krystal Wardrop and Tony White. Visiting performers include Norah Malan and Alyssa Maughan.
Guests, will be able to choose where they sit to enjoy the music as performances ease through the afternoon and into the evening. As the sun sets, warm and inviting fire pits will be lit around the arena, so that our audience can feel snug and warm. There is also the opportunity to set up camp or park your self contained motorhome and enjoy a weekend of farm stay activities, including petting animals and having a try at milking a cow. There will be delicious food and drinks available for purchase, the proceeds of which will go towards the SES and to assist with medical bills from one of the farm’s owners. We will also have a selection of fun play attractions set up, generously supplied by Big Fun Queensland. The sound and Lighting and giant LED screen for the event is being provided by Bobbie Richters from KSR Productions.
This Is the second in the series of DIVA produced events. The first, DIVA at the Dairy, was held in November last year and very well received by those who attended. “Everyone from the last event, has already booked their tickets for this one”, said Musical Director, Louise Winton. “People have been craving getting back to affordable, family friendly, live music events, both as audience and performers. There just seemed to be too many restrictions and limitations, for events like this, so I decided to create my own. My ultimate goal is to be able to pay all artists and industry professionals, the award rate. We have been underappreciated for too long”.
If you would like to help this or future events, through funding or sponsorship, please contact Louise Winton, directly.
Updates and information about the concert, ticketing and camping can all be found on the event’s Facebook page or by phoning Louise on 0427748692
