Hi Everyone,
Just thought I would let you know what I have been doing the last 24 hours,
"Relay For Life is not just about the amazing experience on the day. It’s also about the fun ways your team can raise money in the lead up to the event.
Cancer Council is not government funded. We need your support to help to reduce the impact cancer has on our communities.
Why we need your help
1 in 2 Australians will be diagnosed with cancer before the age of 85. Each dollar you raise can make a difference in helping fund Cancer Council’s research, prevention, education and support services."
How your money helps
$1500: Can help fund groundbreaking research into the causes of cancer and into new and improved treatments.
$1000: Can help us fund clinical trials, which test new and improved ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer.
$500: Can allow a research team to purchase tissue samples for use in investigating the cause of cancer as well as potential treatment options.
$100: Can help us to provide resources to health professionals to assist them in adopting proven methods in treating and caring for their patients.
$50: Can help us train a staff member for the Cancer Council Helpline (13 11 20). The helpline is a confidential telephone support service accessible to all Australians for a cost of a local call. Specially trained staff can answer questions about all aspects of cancer, including prevention, early detection and treatment.
$25: Can enable us to provide a newly diagnosed cancer patient with important support and resources to help them through their cancer journey.
So right now I am functioning on very little sleep.
My team raised $797, which is great because really only 4 of the team turned out and we averaged about 1 hour and 15mins of sleep, so why the hell am I on here when I should be in bed???? lol.
I would like to say Congratulations you Whitehorse Rotaract!!!
