  • “Courage is contagious” - Shanna Whan

    In episode 3 of Season 2, In The Drivers Seat, we are joined by Shanna Whan. Shanna Whan is the founder, force, and CEO behind nationally recognised bush charity Sober in the Country. Against all odds, Shanna made it back from the brink of her own battle with end-stage alcohol addiction in isolation, minus support. She's now a respected lived-experience ambassador, spokesperson and leader who is fighting for others while constantly challenging the status quo and creating vast social impact in the process.

    Shanna Whan is a national personality pioneering unprecedented social impact around alcohol awareness, education and change in rural and remote Australia. She advocates and fights for those who 'stick their hand up' and acknowledge they need a hand overcoming addiction in isolation but simply cannot get help or ongoing support in a timely manner that makes sense for them, thanks partly to geographic isolation and also due to the massive barriers such as stigmas that still abound in rural communities.

    Her philosophy - and now SITC's charity philosophy - is deeply rooted in the famous Desmond Tutu quote that ''there comes a time when we need to stop pulling people out of the river when they've already drowned - and go upstream and find out why they're falling in.''

    Shanna is going upstream and working to catch an entire overlooked demographic of hard working, rural men and women and fighting fiercely for change and support in this sector.

  • 2020 SA Local Hero, Emmah Evans is an author, mother, motivational speaker and Cystic Fibrosis Ambassador. Emmah lives with the life-threatening lung disease Cystic Fibrosis and knows firsthand the challenges that come with this debilitating invisible disease. With a life expectancy of just 37, she was given up for adoption at only days old after doctors believed she wouldn’t survive. Now in her thirties, Emmah has a list of credible achievements and inspires many globally.

    Australia’s Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee has ignored ongoing pleas from the Cystic Fibrosis community to add a miracle-drug, Trikafta to their November 2020 agenda. Around the world, Trikafta has changed the lives of people living with Cystic Fibrosis. In Australia, however, access to this drug costs $300,000 per year, making it largely inaccessible to more than 3,500 people affected by the condition.

    Join us in this movement to use our voices and power, together to make a much needed change! We cannot let the beautiful souls that live with this invisible disease suffer alone. We ask that everyone use the below points of contact to please reach out to our PM and the Minister of Health to ensure that the Trikafta drug is added to the PBAC November 2020 agenda. We urge you to come from a respectful place when addressing these figures. Together we are strong - raise your voice and let’s make a difference.

    HERE’S HOW YOU CAN HELP:

    Contact Greg Hunt MP and Prime Minister Scott Morrison and respectfully ask them to put Trikafta on the 2020 PBAC agenda Post a photo on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter tagging @greghuntmp and @scottmorrisonmp and ask them to add Trikafta to the 2020 PBAC agenda. If you don’t have a photo to share, head to @ecotan to repost our photo.Visit our Facebook page and share our recent post asking the PBAC to consider Trikafta at their next meeting.Call MP’s offices to request that they add Trikafta to the 2020 PBAC agenda! a.Call Greg Hunt MP – (03) 5977 9082 b.Call Chris Bowen MP – (02) 9604 0710 c.Prime Minister Scott Morrison – (02) 6277 7700

    We have even drafted a message that you can use to address these people!

    Dear Prime Minister Scott Morrison / Greg Hunt MP / Chris Bowen MP

    I’m asking you to help the 3,500+ Australians living with Cystic Fibrosis by adding Trikafta to the Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee’s 2020 agenda. At the moment, access to this miracle drug costs $300,000 per year. CF sufferers can’t wait any longer. Without making it more affordable, Australian lives will be lost. Please help our CF community improve their quality of life by ensuring Trikafta is considered by the PBAC in November.

  • Former gangster and jailbird, Owen Pomana shares how he went from bikie enforcer to homeless warrior. Having found the love of his life seven years after joining the Navy, Owen experienced a betrayal like no other by both his best friend and partner. After this broken relationship left his life in ruins, Owen turned to the streets and became consumed by sex, drugs and gangs. In and out of jail for the most part of 12 years, Owen’s life was spiralling to the point of no return. The downward spiral continued and Pomana began running from not only police, but hitmen and fighting bikie gangs while being addicted to methamphetamine and crack cocaine. On the brink of suicide, Owen received a supernatural and life changing message from a higher power. Saved by his faith, Owen now provides support & love all over the World to restore lives through God’s power.

  • Carmen Greentree, author of A Dangerous Pursuit of Happiness, has been in pursuit of her highest truth and purpose all her life. From a depressed and anxious young girl, she became a world-class pro surfer, travelling the world and riding the ecstatic waves of fame and fortune. Carmen took a deep dive into spirituality at 21 and headed to India to study with the Dalai Lama. Her quest for enlightenment was brutally derailed when she was abducted, had her passport and money stolen, and was raped, extorted, abused and kept a prisoner on a houseboat in Kashmir for two long months.

    Her journey back to healing and wholeness allowed her to find herself and forgive herself with a depth so profound, it set the scene for the rest of her life. Since then, Carmen has been on a journey of unconditional love, creating a space of support and compassion for all who cross her path.
