I’m fundraising to support the Albury Wodonga Regional Cancer Centre Trust Fund because everyone in regional areas deserves the very best treatment and care, just like those in major cities.

As many of you know, Mal has been a patient of the Cancer Centre for the past couple of years. Having access to local treatment and support allows a sense of normality to continue, when your whole world is on shaky ground.

Every dollar I raise will stay within our community to help local people impacted by cancer, and let's face it, we all know someone! Those facing the cancer journey should be able to do so close to home, surrounded by the love and support of their families, friends, and communities.

The funds raised through the Sunshine Walk will help purchase new equipment for earlier diagnosis and treatment, fund staff training to keep our local workforce up to date with the latest in cancer care, support vital research and provide local access to national drug trials. Additionally, it will help fund wellness services such as psychology, exercise programs, and support groups.

Cancer affects us all. Let’s come together to support this essential local service. Every dollar truly makes a difference!
