Story

Hey team!

I’m Wallace, an agricultural podcaster, communicator, ex-lecturer and all-round rural advocate who has spent the last few years travelling the world investigating rural education, youth development and consumer engagement! 🌍🎙️

When I’m not chatting with fascinating people from all corners of the globe on my podcast, you’ll find me getting stuck into projects with SAYFC, where I sit on the senior leadership team as Chair of Communications & Marketing. 📢👨‍🌾 I’ve also been involved in various agricultural education initiatives, aiming to bridge the gap between rural life and the wider public.

Wellbeing in the farming sector is something I care deeply about, and Farmstrong does incredible work to support rural communities. 💚🚜 So, when the opportunity came to abseil down the world’s tallest distillery to raise funds, I thought… why not? 🤷‍♂️

Except, there’s one slight issue… last time I abseiled, I cried the whole way down 😂😅 Heights and I aren’t exactly best mates, so this will be a REAL challenge – but it’s all for an amazing cause, and I’m honoured to be part of this adventure with such a great group of people! 🏔️🧗‍♂️

Looking forward to the challenge (kind of) and raising as much as we can for Farmstrong! 💪🔥

P.S. If anyone has tips on how not to cry while abseiling, I’m all (t)ears 👀😂
