A beautiful story by Shaye
I’m SO proud of you Luke & Ziggy. And the whole of Yeppoon community for helping us spread awareness of autism & for our friends in Yeppoon for making the event possible. Especially April & Tahn!! There’s too many people to mention!! But you all know who you are!
1 week ago we received some of the worst news that my cousins partner & father of their gorgeous kids had committed suicide. I’m originally from Longreach & am very close with my cousin Stef, when we found out the news we started making our way out to Longreach that day. Luke was here supporting Stef & was a good mate of Huey’s as Huey was family to us.
Luke thought about postponing the event but Huey was so excited when he seen us on the news & for Luke to do the run. So Luke said this run is even more important I need to do this for Huey.
With a broken heart & the hardest week Luke still drove back to Yeppoon to do the run. I stayed here in Longreach with Summer because here is where I needed to be with my cousin Stef who has just lost the love of her life.
Please, check in on your mates.
Be kind. Don’t judge.

Our greatest battles in life are our own minds you never know what someone is going through.
I miss you so much Huey, we all do. But if you’re reading this. Remember you’re loved & never alone. Message me, message Luke.
Thank you again everyone for all your support & love our families are eternally grateful.
RIP Huey! Luke did it 70km for autism awareness & also suicide awareness.
