So sad to read this news.

Vale Denis McGrath
We are very sad to share that Denis McGrath passed away suddenly last night at home in Wollongong.
Denis, together with Carol, took on Braidwood camp in 2020 and saw it through until it closed in late November that year.
They lead 455 volunteers, who gave 9,392 volunteer days to assist 265 properties in that time, clearing 131 km and rebuilding 249 km of fencing. Braidwood is one of those camps people still talk about. It was well run, welcoming, and just a genuinely good place to be. People felt looked after. There was a lot of hard work, but also plenty of laughs and lasting friendships. That doesn’t just happen, that comes from the people leading it, and Denis and Carol set that tone every single day.
What stands out is how easily he connected with people and how he made everyone feel part of the big BlazeAid Family. That’s why so many who passed through Braidwood have stayed connected ever since. Denis learned to be a Camp Coordinator over the phone, Kevin training him on the spot, with having 45 other basecamps running at the same time! Denis's stocisism and courage shone, especially being thrown in the deep end - it was sink or swim, and Denis certainly rose to the challenge with persistence, great compassion and strong leadership!
Denis leaves behind a huge mark on BlazeAid and on all of us who crossed paths with him.
Thinking of you, Carol, and all the family, sending you all our love and hugs.
Denis — thanks for what you gave, and for the way you did it. You’ll be so missed. 💛
