It is with deeped regret and sadness that one of our founding members - Ross Storey - has died from losing his battle with pneumonia.

Ross will be remembered by us for his courage, strength and his passion for helping the community and particularly those with a disability. Through all his daily adversity and suffering, Ross never lost his smile or his humour.

More can be found out about Ross Storey in the following obituaries.

In this years Wheelbarrow Race of 2008 we are being kindly sponsored by Sandro Soncin. Sandro is running the whole length of the wheelbarrow race on his own!!! Now that is 140km in 3 days!! I did it as part of a team last year and all I can say is that its an incredible achievement to be able to complete the race on your own.

So ASDOGS(NQ) would very much like to thank Sandro for his incredible efforts in supporting us.

ASDOGS(NQ) recently visted Ravanshoe State School to discuss with the students what ASDOGS(NQ) was all about. We had some assistance dogs with us that were used for demonstrations. As usual the dogs stole the show. The one in the photo is Max who is one of our original assistance dogs.

The biggest news for ASDOGS(NQ) for some time is that CRYSTAL CAVES ATHERTON is donating $1 for every paying adult to their tourist attraction. Due to Crystal Caves new exhibit of the worlds largest geode, we are confident that Crystal Caves will be quite busy.

ASDOGS(NQ) was at the recent presentation of the Geode when it was first open for display.

Once again Thankyou Crystal Caves for all your support.
