Another boost for cancer research
A generous donation from a local community group has further boosted funds for cancer research, with a $22,000 donation to the Monaro Committee for Cancer Research (MCCR). Last Thursday, members of the Chris Conway Leukaemia Appeal Committee made the donation to MCCR. The committee was formed on January 25, 1990, with the objective of raising funds to meet the costs of Cooma resident, Chris Conway’s, medical expenses and his donor’s airfares from England, accommodation and living expenses. Unfortunately, Chris died from complications following the
bone marrow transplant. At the time, $33,142 had been raised through raffles, donations, orgainsed events and the community’s generosity. After expenses, funds were retained and a memorial account established to be available for other genuine community needs in urgent medical conditions where funds were required immediatley and could be replenished by fundraising at a later date. The memorial account funds have, fortunately, only been required a few times and the last was seven years ago. With funds sitting idle and the MCCR doing an excellent
job in the cancer area, the memorial committee, comprising Keith Goodwin, Red Roberson, Mick Mayhew and Trevor Reed, decided to donate $22,761 to the MCCR and benefit the local population as a whole. The presentation was made at Cooma Hospital.
