Day 3 of our long weekend whale watching adventures with Moonshadow-TQC
We’ve currently had over 80 ADF members, veterans and their family members booked in!
Today, Paula enjoyed a Kinfish Connect experience with her husband.
When Paula reached out to us, she chose not to share the personal challenges she is currently facing. It was only after the experience that she shared she is undergoing treatment for advanced cancer and recovering from a number of serious injuries.
Paula said: “For a few precious hours, I was able to forget about hospitals, treatment and injuries and simply enjoy the beauty of nature.”
She told us that the day “made a difference” and that seeing the whales breach while learning from the onboard commentary was “an unforgettable experience”.
It’s humbling to be able to give a little back to Paula. She dedicated so much to the community being founder and advocate of ‘ ’.
Kinfish donates Kinfish Connect experiences Australia-wide to ADF members, veterans and their families, creating opportunities to spend quality time together and, sometimes, providing a welcome break from the challenges that life can bring.
