Ambassador gets stick

Empire Bay resident Ms Lynne Harris is one of three multiple sclerosis ambassadors to receive a custom walking stick for her flamboyant nature, sense of fun and eye on style.

The sticks were made by fashion deisgner Kirrily Johnston, pop-art-culture creator Simon Lovelace and painter Leone Harris.

The three artists created sticks int heir own style and donated them to the charity MS Australia.

"Bringing some of the best creative and artistic talent together for what usually is a dull product has been a great project," said walking stick maker Switch Sticks Australia director Ms Fiona Chapman.

"We're thrilled with the designs created.

"We know that people don't lose their sense of style just because they need help with walking.

"That's our ethos at Switch Sticks and these brilliant creators have demonstrated this perfectly.

"If you look good, you feel better," said Ms Harris.
