It’s crucial to spread awareness about treatment and research. Your support helps prevent late diagnoses and saves lives. Cancer won’t stop, and neither will we.

🌟 Mayor Greg Williamson popped into Magpies to present Jasmine Fuhlbohm, the 2024 Mackay Regional Council Young Citizen of the Year, with her award.

🫀 Jasmine has worked tirelessly to raise funds (more than $7,000) and raise the awareness of the need for defibrillator machines across various charities, organisations and locations within the Mackay community that would otherwise not have access to this vital resource. 

🫶 Jasmine unexpectedly lost her father to a heart attack when she was only 10 years old.  He was just 39 years old.  This cause is very close to her heart. 

Well done Jasmine!
