Last chance for Dry July

29 Jul 2015

CAIRNS Hospital cancer ward patients will be the beneficiaries of Dry July 2015 fundraising.
Almost 190 participants raised more than $16,000 this year for cancer care services through the Far North Queensland Hospital Foundation.
Funds raised for the Foundation this year will go towards patient televisions in the cancer care ward at Cairns Hospital, to help make cancer patients’
stays a little more comfortable.
“These valuable funds will help improve the support we provide to local adults living with cancer,” Foundation fundraising co-ordinator Nicole Gibson said.
