Local media are often interested to hear about rural and regional participants enrolling in a bi-national aspirin trial.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"680\" height=\"453\" class=\"wp-image-5562\" src=\"https:\/\/aspree.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/03\/ASPREEUpdate_Shepparton_2014.jpg\" alt=\"News interview with older lady and gentleman\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aspree.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/03\/ASPREEUpdate_Shepparton_2014.jpg 680w, https:\/\/aspree.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/03\/ASPREEUpdate_Shepparton_2014-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 680px, 100vw\" \/>\r\n<figcaption><em>Above: Several\u00a0ASPREE participants\u00a0were happy to talk to local WIN NEWS and Southern Cross TV journalists about about their participation in the trial at the Shepparton study update.<br \/><\/em><\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"Bendigo_Central_Victoria_on_23rd_June_2014\">Bendigo, Central Victoria, on 23rd June, 2014<\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Terrific to meet 190 ASPREE participants and guests from Central Victoria at the Bendigo study update.
