Debbie Hindle and ‘Race for Life’
By Graham McKenzie, TravekMole
One of the first people I met when I entered the world of travel publishing was Debbie Hindle.
At the time she and her colleagues were running a PR company called BGB from some very quirky offices in Victoria.
This was almost twenty years ago and since then Debbie has gone on to bigger things.
Having merged BGB with Four Communications, Debbie undertook an enormous role looking after travel and tourism.
Always passionate, always outspoken, and sincere, Debbie has been the inspiration for many aspiring PR professionals.
For me personally she has always been a good sounding board, an advice giver, and at times a constructive critic.
Her foresight on many matters has been outstanding.
I remember clearly her writing a piece on the effects a pandemic would have on the industry many years before anybody had ever heard of Covid.
It made me, and I’m sure hundreds of others, think hard about the havoc such a scenario could wreak.
A decade later it came to pass.
Of late Debbie has been under the weather but has faced up to, and is beating, breast cancer.
Her efforts to continue the fight against this disease is so typical of her, and the hard work she has put in means that in May she will be walking in the Cancer Research ‘Race for Life’.
If you would like to read more about the fight against cancer, and if you can afford it donate to Debbie’s fund raising, then please go to ‘Race for Life’.
