'Meaningful': Knights in shining armour for sick kids with $2m donation
The Wests Group will give $2 million to Ronald McDonald House for more crucial rooms at John Hunter Children's Hospital. The pledge is from Wests' community arm "Knights Strong". Wests Group president Geoff Coburn said supporting families in need was "central to the group's purpose". "Knights Strong reflects our commitment to standing beside the people of our region when it matters most," Mr Coburn said. Ronald McDonald House Charities Northern NSW CEO Ross Bingham said the pledge builds on a strong relationship between Wests, the Newcastle Knights and the charity house. "Their visionary support will ensure we can continue to be there for more families when they need it most," Mr Bingham said. He said Wests had made a "meaningful difference" for the charity over 20 years, while the Knights Strong partnership marked a "powerful new chapter". He had witnessed "the joy a visit from a Knights player can bring to a sick child". "It just lifts them at that exact moment when they need it," he said. The money will go towards an $8 million development to add 11 self-contained family units to the charity house. This will add to the 12 rooms and six self-contained units at the house, which is on the grounds of the hospital. "Nearly every night, 18 families live in the house while their child is in hospital," Mr Bingham said. "There's a huge unmet need. We turn away about five to six families every day." The expansion is part of the charity's Build a Bigger Heart campaign. "The extra 11 units will help support all families that need somewhere to stay, while their child is in hospital and has travelled a distance," Mr Bingham said. "Whatever support that family needs - it could be their parents, grandparents, best friend - Ronald McDonald House allows that to happen." Children with serious illnesses from the Central Coast to Northern NSW are treated at John Hunter Children's Hospital. "Having somewhere to stay near the child is vital for families," Mr Bingham said. "It means better outcomes for their child and better decisions for mum and dad. "They get good rest and most importantly can keep the family together during those tough times." He said it was an uplifting feeling when the kids were feeling good. The charity raises about $4 million a year to run its houses in Newcastle and Tamworth. It also has family rooms in John Hunter and Gosford hospitals. "We have 230 local people that are volunteers. Without them, we wouldn't be able to provide the service we do," Mr Bingham said. "They are there 24 hours a day supporting families." The Newcastle Herald reported last month that the MacDougall Foundation will give $2 million for the expansion of Ronald McDonald House in Newcastle. Former Knights star Adam MacDougall and his wife Belinda, known for creating the Man Shake and Lady Shake, own the foundation.

Kate Hudson goes braless in a nude bodysuit as she lands in Greece with fiancé Danny Fujikawa and their kids for lavish summer holiday
Kate Hudson went braless in a nude bodysuit as she was snapped arriving in Greece with her fiancé Danny Fujikawa and their kids on Thursday. The Fool's Gold actress, 46, was in full summer-mode as she rocked a straw hat and shades, finishing off with a large black maxi skirt. Kate kept comfortable in a pair of pricy Alaia Raffia Ballerina Flats as she got into the holiday spirit during their European voyage. The Hollywood star looked relaxed on her arrival while musician Danny, 39, kept it casual in a white T-shirt and green trunks. The couple - who have jetted off shortly after Danny's birthday - were joined by their daughter Rani Rose, six, and Bingham, 13, for the trip. Kate also has son Ryder, 21, with ex Chris Robinson. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Earlier on Tuesday, Kate took to Instagram to wish her fiancé Danny Fujikawa a happy 39th birthday. Sharing with her 18.4 million followers, she uploaded a single snapshot of them and wrote in the caption, 'I really dig this human. My Gemini Hurricane, may this last year of your thirties be a perfect jumping board for the best decade to come! Love you so Happy Birthday Dan Man.' Kate and Danny were introduced to each other by the latter's stepsisters Sara and Erin Foster, and got engaged in 2021. Before Danny, Kate was engaged to Muse frontman Mathew Bellamy, 47. Kate had previously exchanged vows with Black Crows frontman Chris, 58, in 2000, divorcing seven years later. In December 2017, the How to Lose A Guy in 10 Days siren shared the story of how she and Danny met. On Instagram, she wrote, 'A year ago today Danny took me on a hike and what I thought was just a hike with a family friend turned very quickly into an unexpected first date. 'No moves were made on this first date. In fact, it took months for him to make a first move! And as a kiss on this bridge would have been nice, the kiss a year later was so much sweeter.' Kate — who is the nepo baby of living legend Goldie Hawn — often shares glimpses of her private life with the musician online. She gushed on Father's Day in 2021: 'My love, simply put, you are the most brilliant father. We all love you so much.' For the holiday in 2023, she posted a throwback image of Rani resting in his lap as a newborn with the note: 'Lucky lady has the most amazing father. I am so grateful to witness such a beautiful bond. We love you so much.' In February 2023, Kate joined Erin and Sara on their show World's First Podcast and discussed her first marriage. 'I went to New York and I met Chris, and I came home, I was like, "Oh, I'm marrying this guy." It wasn't even impulsive,' she shared. She said her formative romance with her ex Chris helped her learn the meaning of unconditional love. 'He was also so important to teaching me what it felt like to be unconditionally loved, and Chris, like, completely opened that floodgate for me, forever, no matter how complicated the relationship got at one point. 'The most important moment for me was meeting him and him allowing me to understand what that felt like.' 'After Chris, I didn't think I'd ever date a musician again,' she previously told Red Magazine in 2014. 'That world is difficult. But it is what it is, right? I like people with musicality. I find it attractive.'

Online vigilantes turn tables on scammers who victimize the elderly
(NewsNation) — Los Angeles-based Trilogy Media is trying to unravel complicated global scams that target vulnerable people, including the elderly, and sometimes the self-styled internet vigilantes are even able to turn the tables on fraudsters. 'These scammers are becoming so prolific and so successful. They are really good at making several different layers of separation between themselves and the victim,' co-founder Ashton Bingham tells 'CUOMO.' With its online content, Trilogy Media primarily educates the public about how some of these elaborate scams work by coaxing victims to part with information or money. Bingham and co-founder Art Kulik say bringing the perpetrators to justice is challenging because of jurisdictional issues. More than $35,000 recovered in stolen Bitcoin scam for Ohio woman 'Domestic law enforcement will say, 'Well, they're out of the country, we can't do anything,' but then foreign law enforcement will say, 'The victim is in the United States, so we can't do anything,'' Bingham said. In certain instances, Trilogy Media has been able to find people in the U.S. who are working with the scammers overseas. 'You can talk to us, or we can report it to police,' Bingham tells a suspect in one episode. Internationally, scammers are believed to siphon $1 trillion annually from victims.

Warnerville veteran is honored by state Senate
A Schoharie County military veteran has been added to the New York State Senate Veterans' Hall of Fame. Sen. Peter Oberacker announced Tuesday that he recognized Richard 'Bunk' Bingham, a retired Army first sergeant from Warnerville, as the 2025 inductee for the 51st Senate District. "This prestigious honor celebrates a lifetime of selfless military service, leadership and unwavering commitment to our nation," a news release from Oberacker's office stated. 'It is my distinct honor today to celebrate a true American hero whose life has been defined by a selfless and unwavering commitment to our nation,' Oberacker said. '1st Sgt. Bingham answered the call to duty during one of the most turbulent times in American history and has never stopped giving back.' Bingham's military service began April 23, 1968, when he was drafted into the U.S. Army and deployed to Vietnam with the 1st Aviation Brigade, the release stated. He served as a motorpool sergeant and returned home in December 1969. In 1977, he resumed service with the 414th Civil Affairs Company in Utica, later joining the 426th Civil Affairs Company in California as a military police supervisor. After returning to New York, he dedicated seven years to mentoring recruits as a basic training first sergeant with the 1165th Training Unit, according to the release. During his time in uniform, Bingham earned numerous honors, including the National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam Service Medal, Vietnam Campaign Medal, Army Commendation Medal and the Humanitarian Service Medal, the release stated. He retired with the rank of first sergeant in 2007, "closing a distinguished military career marked by humility, courage and an everlasting dedication." 'To Bunk, wearing the uniform was never just an obligation, but a sacred privilege,' Oberacker said. 'His story is an inspiration to me personally and to all who know him. We are proud to honor his service and the values he continues to embody."
