Friday 18 October was Loud Shirt Day, a day when people wear loud shirts and raise funds for Hear and Say. Were Melissa, Pauline and Lauren’s outfits loud enough? I think my camera’s sensor may have sustained some permanent damage!
Last weekend (26-27 October) Pauline, along with 1,345 other people, walked 60km in and around Brisbane to raise money for the QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute and the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital.
