WAYNE JACKSON OUTSTANDING COMMUNITY SERVICE AWARD
It was a true honour to receive this recognition at the recent Greater Port Macquarie awards.
I love a trophy as much as the next competitive girl, but this one hit differently.
I’ve been nominated for this award four times, and this year I was lucky enough to bring it home. The Wayne Jackson Award was created to honour the legacy of a man who gave deeply to this community. Thank you to his wonderful wife Rebecca for presenting it to me, and for sharing a little of who Wayne was. That moment stayed with me.
This award recognises outstanding commitment to the Port Macquarie-Hastings community, and over the past five years I’ve been fortunate to raise over $260,000 for the people of this town I am proud to call home.
None of it is possible without the love and support of my husband, my family, and my incredible team, who back every single endeavour with their whole hearts.
Thank you to Greater Port Macquarie and the Jackson family for this beautiful recognition.
It means more than words can say.
Dr K
