Would you like to help make a difference in a local child's life? Covering travel for Make A Wish kids and their families is one of the biggest challenges when granting wishes. If you have some spare air miles from United, American, JetBlue or Delta, please consider giving it to Make-A-Wish Foundation of Greater Virginia to apply to granting life-changing wishes to local kids and their families. It's super easy. Visit va.wish.org/miles or today, 8/14, you can call during our telethon (804) 330-8880.

We brag on our weather team from time to time. When the remnants of Tropical Storm Debby threatened Central Virginia, more people relied on our StormTracker8 team than any other local news station. These are the things you won't find anywhere else: VIPIR RealTime Radar, the experience of John Bernier and Matt DiNardo, and the area's top rating for Most Accurate Weather for the last 7 years.

Last week, I completed my 8-week internship with ABC 8NEWS WRIC - Nexstar Media Group. During this time, I had the opportunity to work with various news stories alongside multiple reporters, write numerous articles for the website, and edit a range of videos. During my experience at WRIC, I was able to improve my skills as a professional, particularly with SEO Audits. I was able to gain more of an understanding of how to use and apply them effectively. Everyone at WRIC helped to make my internship enjoyable and educational. I would especially like to say a big thank you to Tannock Blair for mentoring me during my internship.
