Ms McCready and hospice volunteer coordinator Sarah Grandison attended the media masterclass for finalists on 12 October.

“It’s been a big week for Katie Rose news. We also revealed that our guest speaker for our upcoming fundraising event, Gather and Graze on the Green, will be Sara Leonardi- McGrath,“ Ms McCready said.

“Ms Leonardi-McGrath, a Noosa resident, will share her personal connection to Katie Rose Cottage Hospice and its profound impact on her life and that of her husband, Glenn McGrath, co-founder of the McGrath Foundation.
