When Kath Tanner enters a room, you know she is there.

The room is filled with laughter and happiness.... the stories of life and adventure abound.

And if you really want to know about Kath's prosthetic leg and that attractive ankle ... she'll tell that story too.

One of Kath's many hats is that of peer group support volunteer for 'Limbs for Life' in Tasmania.

A group that meets socially and swaps information and stories for the best life.

Kath Tanner told many stories on our Long Lunch program .... but was a little cagey about her golf handicap.  (if you pardon the pun, we think it maybe a single digit)

It may have begun as a pub in a dodgy part of Launceston, but 150 years later it's now a vibrant church that reaches out to the community. Anne Fitzgerald talks to the people at the heart of this remarkable welcoming place on its 150th anniversary.

150th Anniversary, Gateway Baptist Church, Launceston

For the first time, Tasmania is hosting the Australian Transplant Games and Launceston is getting ready to make them the best yet.

The local organising committee is powering ahead to ensure participants and families have the best adventure.

One of the local committee is Mark Brewer, a veteran of the Transplant Games. 

Mark's favourite sport is snow skiing, but for September in Spring, he is in training to master the petanque piste.

With less than three months to go, Mark told the Long Lunch program the call is now for volunteers to assist with the smooth running of the games; particularly for volunteers with experience or an understanding of running sporting events.

Can you help Mark ?

Visit the website https://australiantransplantgames.com/  and get involved.

The Transplant Games begin with a free community fun run (or walk) on Sunday 27th September. It's your invitation to get active and celebrate the 'life-changing' impact of organ and tissue donation.
