Now, let's get into today's conversation.
[00:00:59] G', day. Shane here from Talkin Toowoomba. Just jumping in with a quick bonus episode before our next chat goes live.
And trust me, you'll want to tune in for this one.
I'll be sitting down with Rachel Garvin, an oncology massage therapist doing some amazing work here in Toowoomba.
Now, Rachel's story is one of those that really hits home. She's not only supporting people going through cancer treatment, but also helping those living with scar tissue and recovery after surgery.
It's powerful, practical, and full of heart.
You'll hear how she brings compassion and care into what can often be a very clinical journey and how that's making a real difference to local families.
The episode drops very soon, so keep an eye on your feed.
But while I've got you, I wanted to talk to you about a few things and a few ways of how you can get involved and give back.
Because that's really what this podcast is all about.
Community, connection and support.
First up, for all the local businesses listening, if you've ever wanted to be featured on Talkin Toowoomba, now's the time. It's a great way to share your story, tell the community what you do, and connect with locals who love supporting locals.
Even better, 70% of all sponsorship proceeds go straight to Hope Horizons helping Toowoomba families affected by cancer.
So you're not just promoting your business, you're making a real impact where it counts.
If that sounds like something that fits your values, reach out to us through our socials or the link in the show notes. We'd love to chat about how we can feature you now. Speaking of making a difference, it's Movember, and that means it's time to get behind Men's Health.
You've probably seen a few new mustaches popping up around town already.
It's all about starting conversations, raising awareness, and tackling some tough topics.
Mental health, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer.
Whether you grow a mow, get moving or donate a few bucks. It all helps. And remember, those small actions add up to saving lives.
So if you're getting involved this November, good on you.
And lastly, a quick word about the podcast itself.
If you enjoy what we do here at Talking Toowoomba and you want to help keep these stories coming, you can now donate directly to support the show.
Just like with our sponsors, 70% of all donations go straight to Hope Horizons.
The rest helps us keep producing local stories highlighting the people and places that make Toowoomba special.
You'll find the donation link in the show notes.
Every little bit helps and it's a great way to be part of something bigger.
So that's it for now. Thanks for tuning in, for supporting your community and for backing local voices.
Keep an ear out for our next episode with Rachel. It's one that will make you stop and think about the power of care, compassion and connection.
