STORY 2: Why these five moms jumped out of a plane together
Five moms, bonded by the loss of their children to brain tumors, formed a close friendship and raised £70,700 for the Tessa Jowell Foundation by skydiving together. Louise Fox, Niki O'Dea Patel, Nikki Treharne, Clair Todd, and Katie Dove lost their children between 2020 and 2022. They connected on Facebook during their children's treatments and formed the "Forever Moms of Brain Tumor Angels" group. Their skydive helped them feel closer to their children in heaven. The funds raised will support brain cancer research. The moms are praised for channeling their pain into raising awareness and funds for others.
STORY 3: LAKO: The power of Georgia's unique tax credits for community impact
Georgia offers unique tax credits allowing taxpayers to redirect their funds to specific causes or organizations. These credits include Qualified Education Expense, Foster Child Donation, Law Enforcement Donation, and Rural Hospital Organization Expense Credits. By contributing to approved organizations, taxpayers receive a dollar-for-dollar reduction in state tax liability. Credits are subject to caps and require pre-approval through the Georgia Tax Center. Contributions beyond the tax liability can be carried forward for up to five years. The process involves applying for approval, making a payment within 60 days of approval, and receiving acknowledgment for tax filing. These credits empower taxpayers to support causes meaningful to them.

Break 2: Peggy Slappy – TOM WAGES – DTL
STORY 4: Editorial: For the sake of the nation, Mr. President, please bow out
The U.S. faces a concerning political moment with former President Trump's plans and a poll showing him beating President Biden in battleground states. Despite Biden's successes, a New York Times/Siena College poll reveals Trump leading in five out of six crucial states, attributing it largely to Biden's perceived age (81). Calls for Biden to forgo reelection intensify to avoid an existential threat to democracy. Trump's autocratic tendencies post-presidency raise concerns, as plans include using the Justice Department against critics and deploying the military against protests. Urgent pleas urge Biden to step aside and avoid risking Trump's return.
STORY 5: Device that ‘smells’ seawater being used to search for new medicines
Scientists have developed a device, the In Situ Marine moleculE Logger (I-SMEL), which "smells" seawater to capture and analyze dissolved compounds from marine organisms. This non-invasive tool was tested in Mediterranean Sea caves and proved promising for drug discovery. The I-SMEL, handled by divers, uses disks to concentrate dissolved molecules released by sponges and other organisms. The researchers identified diverse compounds, including unknown structures, with potential applications in medicine. The device offers a way to study underwater ecosystems' health and discover new natural products without harming fragile environments. The team aims to adapt the device for remote operation in deeper waters.
