Don Ritchie – Australian Local Hero 2011
Such an inspiring story that I had to do a page in my journal!
“Mr Ritchie, who lives opposite the infamous Sydney suicide spot The Gap, has talked more than 160 people out of taking their lives there.
His strategy: simply to offer a cup of tea and chat back at his place.
Mr Ritchie says it does not take much to make a difference for those in need and anyone can help.”
Of course it is not the cup of tea that it is important… it is a man (and his wife) who cares and in his own quiet way is making a difference!

O, what a story, Liz. Some people feel so alone and that their lives are hopeless. What an uplifting couple.
