Thank you to the Eltham Rotarians who helped me in raising money for my 60km Peter Mac Walk next month.
The special effort, that I had tickets for sale at our Rotary night out at Prosciutto Brothers, was drawn last Sunday with a number of the entrants present. The lucky winner was drawn by a special Guest and good friend in P.P Joseph Deveraux from the Hawthorn Rotary Club.
I felt that to give just one prize, even though it was quite substantial, wasn’t enough so I was able to add several more prizes making it a very worthwhile event.
The winner was a local from the Mornington Peninsula and happy to say she was present at the draw. However two further prizes went to Rotarian John Skinner and Rotarian Partner Judy Aussems.
The monies raised from this special effort and adding to many other generous peoples donations means that I have now raised in excess of the required amount to qualify to do the Walk, my past three years now amount to over $10,000.00.
As an aside our Group, called the Walkie Talkies, were recently advised that the monies we have raised over the past 3 years, well in excess of $350,000.00, is enough to pay for three Researchers for 12 months. This is more than rewarding for our little efforts as the Peter Mac Research Team are constantly making huge inroads in the battle to overcome Cancer.
Again my sincere thanks,
Lyn Hardiman
