On Sunday, 3 October, Wells Park<br />
in Rockingham was abuzz as over<br />
50 family and friends of Rhys’ came<br />
together for a barbecue he had<br />
organised to raise funds for <strong>MSWA</strong>,<br />
as his way of giving back to those<br />
who have helped him.<br />
Guests were treated to a delicious<br />
feast, with a sausage sizzle, pulled<br />
beef and coleslaw rolls. Combined<br />
with a raffle, an amazing amount of<br />
$1,200 was raised.<br />
Rhys is looking forward to<br />
continuing to raise awareness for<br />
<strong>MSWA</strong> and the various conditions it<br />
supports. He hopes that his cooking<br />
can help get the message out there!<br />
Cooking has always been<br />
something that Rhys has enjoyed<br />
but it has now become a passion.<br />
“If you’re not cooking, no one is<br />
looking,” he explains, something<br />
that has become his slogan.<br />
Rhys has support from PGC<br />
Resources, Cavanagh Constructions,<br />
Mike McKenzie Mortgage Brokers,<br />
RibRack BBQ, Layll Building<br />
Solutions and other barbecue<br />
enthusiasts who are following him<br />
on Instagram.<br />
<strong>MSWA</strong> Client Rhys Coffey.<br />
“My favourite barbecue/Weber<br />
recipe is pulled lamb, which is really<br />
easy. I rub the lamb with RibRack<br />
sheep rub and put in the Weber on<br />
indirect heat at 2250F for four hours<br />
or until the internal temp reaches<br />
1650F, then I wrap in foil for another<br />
four hours or until the temp reaches<br />
2030F. Then I let it rest in an Esky for<br />
up to one hour and then – enjoy!”<br />

BLOOMING DISORDERED EXCHANGE<br />
“Blooming Disordered Exchange is a response to my own<br />
understanding and response to my diagnosis of multiple<br />
sclerosis. Through this piece I aim to create awareness of the<br />
chronic illness to an audience who wouldn’t necessarily have<br />
a connection to the degenerative autoimmune disease.<br />
As MS does not discriminate between male and female,<br />
this genderless clay bust provides the platform for intricately<br />
woven neurons formed from junk mail roses, salvaged cables<br />
and beads. Just as myelin sheath damage exposes nerves in<br />
those with MS and interferes with the exchange of messages<br />
between the brain and spinal cord, several cables in the<br />
sculpture have exposed copper wire due to damaged plastic<br />
insulation coating.”<br />
