This week, I catch up with rural mum Kate Boshammer. Kate's story is utterly heartbreaking, but our interview and the awareness she's trying raise is incredibly important. Kate's baby girl Zara passed away last year at just seven months old. She'd been fighting numerous medical complications since birth, and was eventually diagnosed with an extremely rare and severe chromosomal disease Despite their grief Kate and her husband Justin have ensured Zara's legacy lives on through “Zara’s Day”. They've raised an incredible amount of money for charity, and will be holding an online auction this month to raise life-changing funds for the Steve Waugh Foundation. This is her story.

GIVEAWAY: Kate is offering a beautiful giveaway for Motherland listeners. One lucky listener will win a $120 online voucher donated by Luxeluna Face & Body Skincare, which uses carefully sourced organic ingredients and is handmade in Australia by a qualified cosmetic chemist.
