S3 Ep 18 - The Outback Long Ride
Manage episode 437335734 series 3240397
It takes incredible strength of character to turn something tragic into something hopeful. That’s what one young rural woman has done following the tragic loss of both her parents. After losing her father to a heart condition when she was just 12 years old, she then lost her mother to a rare form of cancer. Her horses became her lifeline. Now, they are her full-time companions as she rides 5-and-a-half thousand kilometres across outback Queensland and NSW, to raise money for cancer research. The incredibly resilient woman in the saddle, Sarah Wheeler joins me to discuss:
- Sarah’s favourite rural place she has visited so far along her epic journey.
- Sarah’s current location as she rides 5-and-a-half thousand kilometres across outback Queensland and NSW.
- The reason she is riding for charity and, how her parents have been her inspiration to keep going.
- Her childhood and the influence her parents had on Sarah becoming a strong rural woman.
- The planning that’s gone into this trip and, the people she has met along the way.
- Sarah’s horses have been loyal companions in the face of her immense loss.
- The support crew and horse float which, turns out to be much needed when there are cream rocks around.
- As well as being a healing pilgrimage for Sarah, she also wants to make a difference in the fight against cancer and, how we can support her through ‘Pancare’
- How her horses ‘Shifty’ and ‘Sally’ are going on this long trip and, their daily ride routine.
- How Sarah is documenting her trip as well as a map of where she is right now.
- What Sarah loves most about being a rural woman.
- Sarah shares very openly about the common misconceptions about grief.
- Sarah’s ultimate dream for the future.
We hope to see you back on the road soon, to learn more about how Australia grows on the next episode of Australian Farmers with Angie Asimus.
