One week ago today at the Coffs Harbour Running Festival.

Looking back, it was one of those mornings that reminded me why local events like this matter so much. A chance to race hard, test yourself, share the course with familiar faces and be part of something much bigger than the result itself.

A huge thank you to and for continuing to build such a strong event for our community, and to every volunteer who gave their time and energy to make the day possible.

Plenty to take from this one, plenty to build on, and already looking forward to lining up again in 2027!

🌼 Daffodil Day 🌼

Today, the daffodil represents hope for everyone affected by cancer and for a future shaped by better research, treatment and outcomes.

At The Athlete’s Guild, we see that the effects of cancer can extend well beyond the diagnosis itself. Treatment can leave changes in pain, fatigue, mobility, sensation, scar tissue, lymphatic function and overall physical wellbeing, sometimes continuing long after treatment has finished.

Supporting someone affected by cancer requires more than simply modifying a standard treatment. It requires an understanding of their cancer history, treatment, side effects, precautions and where they are in their recovery.

Our role is not to treat cancer. It is to provide appropriately adapted care that supports comfort, movement, recovery and quality of life alongside the person’s broader healthcare team.

This Daffodil Day, we recognise those living with cancer, those navigating life after treatment, their families and everyone working to improve what comes next. 💛

A familiar face in the latest Men in Business edition of Coffs Coast Focus Magazine 👏

Trent brings extensive knowledge and experience to his work, with special interests in areas including men’s pelvic health, lymphoedema and sports remedial massage,

It’s great to see Trent and his expertise recognised within our local community. Well deserved! 🙌

His son was his F.A.S.T. hero.

He recognised the signs of stroke, called an ambulance straight away and helped save his father’s life.

National Stroke Week 2026 recognises the family members, friends and bystanders who spotted the signs of stroke and acted without delay.

Men are almost 1.5 times more likely than women to experience stroke. Around 21,000 Australian men have a stroke each year, or about 57 every day. Yet 2 in 5 cannot recognise any common F.A.S.T. sign, and 1 in 3 do not know that stroke is a medical emergency.

F.A.S.T.: Face drooping. Arm weakness. Speech difficulty. Time to call 000.

Surviving a stroke is often only the beginning. Recovery can involve weakness, spasticity, reduced mobility, pain, swelling, and changes in continence and sexual function.

As part of a coordinated rehabilitation plan, Trent Renshaw provides support for:

• muscle tightness, guarding or discomfort
• hip, leg or other muscle and joint pain
• reduced movement or mobility
• swelling or oedema from reduced limb movement
• urinary frequency, urgency or incomplete emptying
• difficulty with erections or reaching or**sm

You do not have to navigate recovery alone.

Stroke Foundation’s StrokeLine offers friendly, understanding support to survivors, families, carers and friends. Its nursing and allied health professionals understand aphasia and give each person the time they need to communicate.

Call 1800 787 653, Monday to Friday, 9 am–5 pm Australian Eastern Time.

For support with the physical, lymphatic or male pelvic health effects of stroke recovery, book with Trent at Hoys Allied Health & Wellness.
