Hi everyone - I've not been around as much these days but some of you will remember me no doubt (I do lurk in the shadows from time to time though!). For those that don't I'm Sarah and I used to run a business called LSD Automotive with my partner Simon. We frequented AULRO very often and made friends with numerous WA members. Simon passed away in 2011 after a long battle with depression, taking his own life and leaving myself and our then 13 mth old boy behind. AULRO was an AMAZING support to me then and I am still in touch with members now (and get the odd email for parts too!)
This weekend I am taking part in the HBF Run For A Reason and have been fundraising for Lifeline. I've 4 days to go and basically asking anyone and everyone I know if they have a few dollars spare to go to the cause. I didn't ask here because I felt it a little cheeky...then I remembered that I am cheeky and when I'm passionate about something I tell you regardless of if you want to hear it ;)
Lifeline is a charity that provides a suicide prevention hotline where the public can call and chat with a counselor in times of crisis. If Simon had called them the night we lost him I know there would have been a chance for him to rethink his actions and we might still have him with us today.
To summarise- if you feel inclined to donate I would be VERY VERY VERY appreciative! Anything $2 and over is tax deductible and you donate directly through the HBF site (ie. nothing comes to me). If you can't spare a few dollars, that's ok! I appreciate you reading anyway

I'm half way to my goal and will hopefully get there by Sunday Morning!
Thank you :)
