The Animal Song by Savage Garden has become Reid's Anthem..we have to play it everytime we drive into and out of Brisbane. Somehow it inspires him. I love the lyrics they give me goosebumps and make me cry.
Childhood Cancer...I put this link in...all of the videos are very confronting but I thought we should all be reminded that Reid is no the only one going through this ordeal...the top pic (the Black one) is my favourite.

About Me
- Jo Capp
- I am 39 and feeling every bit of it and more. David and I have two children; Alexandra is 9 and Reid is 7. I grew up in central and southern Queensland and went to boarding school in Toowoomba. I went to Gatton college after school and studied (well I thought I was) hospitality. I started my career in Hotels at the Ramada Reef Resort in Cairns and later transferred to the Ramada at the Gold Coast. I met David, my Husband whilst I was living on the Gold Coast. He had gone to boarding school there but was working with Alpine Refrigeration in Toowoomba. We settled in Toowoomba, bought our home, got married and started our own business in Air Conditioning and refrigeration 10 years ago.
