Lights “Beneath the Brim” out as fundraiser rides storms lash into town central west By TESS VAN LUBECK
BARELY a month after storms caused considerable havoc across the state, the Central West and other parts of NSW were again lashed by powerful storms on Sunday night, February 9, and Monday morning, February 10. Severe storm alerts issued on Sunday afternoon by NSW Incident Alerts forecast thunderstorms across the central eastern inland and south-east of the state, forewarning of damaging winds, hail and localised heavy rain expected across a large swathe of the state from the Victorian border up through the centre of NSW to well north of Dubbo.
LIFELONG horse-lover Sarah Wheeler has turned a family tragedy into an inspiring story of resilience, courage, and caring. Last Saturday, Warren enjoyed a visit from Ms Wheeler for her “Beneath the Brim” charity ride. Local mother and daughter duo, Joelene Gibson and Peyton Callaghan, joined Ms Wheeler as she rode into town. The epic nine-month journey on horseback aims to raise awareness and money to combat the debilitating disease known as upper gastrointestinal cancer. Fundraising for two charities, the “Pancare Foundation” and “A Daughter’s Way”, the ride is also a healing journey for Ms Wheeler after the double tragedy of losing both parents. It is also a way to honour their memory.
